Darkside Q's

so i want to customise my truck
i want the truck to sit about 2" off the ground when parked. but drive at atleast 8"
so i am thinking Airbags.

i am smoothing all panels. since i will go with a streamlined look

if i leave the INline 6 how much power could i get out of it?

i like the way the 6 sits and i dont see why i cant have a custom with the original 6 and 3 on the tree.

how much of a pain in the **** is removing the drip rail from the roof and will i have to reweld the top on when it is gone?

to do a 6" drop i have to obviously cut the frame. what kinda rearend should i use? the airbags work off of fourlink suspension??

what kinda modifications will i have to do to use a stockish steering colum with an astrovan frontend?

Flashman can tell you a lot about making power in that six. I have a new set of headers and a used offenhauser intake so that a 4 barrel carb can be used. email me for details if you are interested. Jag
