How fast is this bu' going to be? If you have plans on going real fast, do not spend your money twice and just pony up for some better double adjustable shocks on both ends, it will save you money in the long run.
I am not really sure what the question is, but I am pretty sure the answer is Big Block.

I 100% agree...forget the cheap 3-way shocks and go with a good externally adjustable shock. You'll be glad you did.

Moroso springs would be a nice improvement over stockers. Get it on some 4 corner scales so you can select the right ones and get the corner weights lined out.

Hey Craig nice looking nova seriously thanx for advice The moroso springs being larger diameter than stocks what's causing interference withARB as it was welded in while car was still sporting stock diameter 6cylinder sprin you all have been so helpful it's motivating for disabled gear head keeps me looking forward to maybe 1 more time slip I wanna finish car for my nephew or father to race I've received slot of varying opinions on brands of shocks the common consensus was that the afcos adjust ments are most easily accessedQa1 makes package I saw on summits site I'm ready order that and Bncafcodouble eliminators for front anyone have any input on accessabilty of adjustment knobs on afco versus strange for frontshock
