    Breeze rear lower control arms are a must for the 3 link.

    Ldsman,

    You’re following mainly my path. Only thing is I got a 347 instead of a 302.
    More hp for a little more $, not much.
    But I was convinced it would make a difference if ever I decide to sell my ride.
    Proof will be in the pudding as they say…

    Great Point Rich!

    Spohn Lowers are a good option too for a nice upgrade.

    Just make sure you lock them down tight once you've got your thrust and pinion angles set.

    Welcome Aboard!
