So the build of my 69 RR continues. I am trying to put together a car that looks as close to stock as possible, but runs like a bat out of hell! So far, I have addressed the front suspension, breaks, steering, and the motor has been built. Motor is a 493 stroker. I am still running stock HP manifolds, with aluminum edelbrock heads (painted engine color to look stock), also running stock appearing 3X2 intake/carbs. I've got all the power I need and so far I everything is coming together as planned. The two significant things left are to do frame connectors, and rear leafs/shocks. There is a Dana 60 with 4.10's in it now and an auto trans with a 3000rpm stall. What type of rear spring/shock set up should I consider? Are caltrac's worth it? This is primarily a street driven car, with occasional trips to the strip planned. Additionally, which should be addressed first, the frame connectors, or the rear suspension?
