Front end and rear end
Hey guyz whats up?? I just started building my first hot rod. It's been a fun process so far but i'm having some trouble right now. I've gotten every thing torn down and I've got a bare chassis sitting infront of me. I'm swapping in a chevy 350 4 bolt main and i plan on running about 400 horses out of it.
What strengthening do i need to do on the frame and what type of rear suspention would you suggest?? I don't plan on racing it or professionally showing it i just want something easy and comfortable.
Also what should I do about a front end?? It's my dad's car and he suggests going and finding a front end at a junk yard and fabbing it up to fit. Is this a good idea?? or should i get a front end kit??
Like I said this is my first build so i will frequently be posting to get ideas and help. I thank you for your help in this matter.

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
