mom'sZ Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 david: I don't know first hand but it is my understanding that swapping a chevy small block for the inline six only changes the weight by 75 pounds or so. (maybe 125, I don't remember) So... a lot of the information concerning coil-over suspensions on this web site is relevent to your application. Sectioning the struts is only nessasary if you want to lower the car an extreme amount. It gains back suspension travel lost when the car is lowered.
