I have an '80 Volare wagon that is getting a 408 " stroker motor and 727 up front.
I am looking at just re-doing the front suspension with stock parts and adjustable shocks.
In back , I am still on the fence.
I have a nearly new set of 002 - 003 Super Stock leafs and I think they could be made to work with a longer spring hangar in front.
I also have a set of 32 " ladder bars , shock mounts and forward bar mounts that would work , but would need a good pair of adjustable coil overs to finish.
I have a 9 " Ford housing that will get what ever perches or brackets are required.
It will be a street car for the most part , so this isn't my first choice.
But I am new to the F body platform , and would like to hear some opinions from guys who have some experience in these matters.
I come from the open headers and slicks screwed to the rims school , so a rough or noisy ride would scare me less than the price for a set of Cal Tracs and mono leafs.
Which I run on a '65 Dart , and like.
I am trying to get this done with as little out of pocket as possible , and will be doing all the work myself except narrowing the rear end housing.
Thanks in advance for your insights.
