    Question Help 56 Chev. Suspension????

     



    Have a 56 Chev. with the stock suspension and a big block 454 nuning through a T400 and ft. disk brakes. Thinking about installing an independent front and rear suspension but not sure what kind. Need advice on the Mustang, Corvette or Jag suspensions. Any help as to sources for them wil also be appreciated.

    Heidt's makes some nice peices for Tri-5 chebbie fronts, and their 9" Ford IRS is a very nice unit, available in different widths and should go under a shoebox just fine.

    I think Art Morrison is making a whole new Tri-5 Chebbie frame with a strut front suspension, might want to check them out too. Never have seen the Scotts stuff, but if Kenny reccomends it, it's gotta be good. Got any pics for us, Kenny???
