ill hit you up for sure. i need to get it tuned up and the carb rebuilt (kinda "stutters" when cold, and a few misc probs) but, in about 2-3 months ill be on teh suspension. think i MAY paint it first though..

I would recommend the suspension work before paint, just incase you feel the need to do any cutting...

Hey Loud3, what setup would you recommend for plumbing? I ain't got the experience in this stuff so I'm curious and all, would he better off with a 2 valve or 8 valve?

8 valve.

And with a heavy vehicle like that, I would recommend 1/2" valves. 3/8's would work, no problem, but may be a little slow. It's really up to you. I lean towards 3/8's on most imports and newer cars because the weight is typically not an issue. Lower pressure to get smaller cars off the ground.

Suspension geometry also plays a role. Some cars can ride and turn a fair amount at 10psi... others won't be able to turn until 80ish psi.

I'm also a big fan of running airlines INSIDE the car. Less chance that you route it near a brake line or the exhaust and melt it. Plus if you need to, it's quick and easy to check and adjust fittings inside the car.

DEFINITELY clean those wheels up.

Like Loud said..even tho you dont care about doing FBSS, 8 valves would be nice to have because it helps tone down the bodyroll and flex while corning. But its not really necessary. And 1500 would get you a good setup. Deff. suggest 1/2" bags, and ATLEAST 3/8" line and valves.

yeah i am worried bout body roll. the car is by no means going to do daily duty, BUT i would like to be able to drive it and not feel like its gonna tip over round every corner, lol...
