Comments:   Rubber rear spring isolators were removed to eliminate rear end movement. Wider rear springs built for better traction control. The 9" rear end was shortened 2" on each side to gain outer fender well clearance which is now 1" on both sides. Front coils are custom made for big block, although the aluminum intake and headers reduce the 427 4-speed to about the same weight as the stock 289, Cruiseomatic, and power steering that were removed
