All "Ghey" jokes aside haha

I took some scrap steel tubing from work, 1.250" out side demention and 1.500" got making the swing shackle mounts. I didn't feel like pressing old bushing out so I went to napa with the shackle bolt and pipe and found a perfect match for both.

As soon as I get the passenger side leaf spring welded in I can make the drivers side match.

Then hook up the hydro steer and start on the rear

Nothing wrong with those hangers. They should work fine.

For the time being yes.

Still building the 69' 460-A block with D0VE-C heads.

Shooting for 500hp N/A

The 300 has enough torque to get it around for now

Hooked the steering up. Had to have a custom line built to connect the orbital valve to the power steering pump. Bleed the whole system steering works great. Didn't have to adjust the restrictor plate at all.

Ill post pics and a video when I get off work in 12 hours
