damn those are some long arms. I'm sure you used some beef (at least 2x.250) for the extensions but I'd still be afraid to come down too hard on em. looks awesome though, good work.

I have bump stops to keep the tires from destroing the fenders, but I am going to cut them.

Bray D. damn those are some long arms. I'm sure you used some beef (at least 2x.250) for the extensions but I'd still be afraid to come down too hard on em. looks awesome though, good work.
Yea they are way to long. But, I didnt know any better, so I just did it. I am going to four link the rear soon, and I am going to make the radius arms alot shorter.

COPPERHEAD85. looks awesome!what headers did you use?
I used a used set of old mustang headers. Cut off everything but about 2 inches of pipe from the flange. Every other inch of them is home made. My best friends dad ownes a muffler shop, so I used his bender.


I had NEVER done so much as an V-8 swap. I just gatherd up most of the parts, drank some beer, and just did it. If I wasnt sure about something I either guessed,(like the rad arms), or asked someone who might know.


Thanks, if you want to know anything about it, just ask.

Well after a YEAR of searching I found a NP203.... Now I going to do the 203/205 Doubler.

I am going to put the 63" Chevy spring on it for now, it going to take all my savings for the doubler, so the 4-link rear will have to wait...

Thanks for the Comments.
