Thread: Suspension posibilities??

Tweet

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what I could replace the front suspension on my 52 Chevy Business Coupe with. I have an idea to change the real sealed driveline with a Chevelle or Camero rear end so I can replace the rest of the driveline with a new motor and tranny(electronic). Any feed back would be much apreciated.

If your gonna' find a Chevelle or Camaro donor car for the drive train, cheapest would be to use the front suspension off the same donor car.

Way back when I was still doing front and rear swaps, I'd carry a tape with me everywhere I went. Quite a few times, I've surprised the owner of a car by being up under it measuring when they came out of the K-Mart

Careful Richard ............. These days that might get ya' shot. @ least in Chicago................... HEHEHE

They make some very fine IFS for the old chebbies. I put a Mustang 2 kit on a 51, worked great.

Which IFS did you use? What engine did you use? I forgot to mark my spindle center lines when I took off my front axle and now am worried about having interference with my motor mounts and front IFS systems.

I have a 1950 Chevy Styleline Deluxe.
