Was wondering for those running this setup how you liked it?
I'm contemplating going SOA with 35's but already have a set of 4.11 gears.
I know most go 4.56 , but I feel with the stock tranny, the engine will be buzzing going 70 mph at 3100 rpm.
4.11's would put it at 2800 rpm going 70 mph.
I wish I could put in an h55f, but its just too much money right now.
Also I have an early 83 60 , and was planning to pick up the soa kit from proffits. Does anyone know if after the SOA on stock springs, If the rear driveshaft will be long enough to work so I can drive the thing over to a drive shaft shop? Or am I going to need new drive shafts for front and back before I can drive it?
Also is using a 110v welder for the first time, to weld the rear spring perches a bad idea? I have no welding experience and no 220v outlet, so I'm in a pinch here.
I'm going to practice a lot before doing them.
I'm considering welding it as best as I can and then driving it over to someone who has a serious welder to redo them.
sorry for the long list
