i know traction would be a HUGE problem. if i was really going to go that route, i'd do it right. it's too low for slapper bars. it's got a 3" drop, and i get stuck in car washes. the rear springs are down too far. probably what i'd do is tub it and get some decent meat out back, and use ladder bars. a 4-link is too much work. then, put drag shocks/springs on it. i'd have to redo the front suspension though, because it uses torsion bars. not sure how i'd do that without a strut front end or some shit, but i wouldn't REALLY want to get into that. this is, after all, a daily driver. the other problem is the overall weight of the vehicle. usually low weight is good, but the new motor would probably actually reduce the front end weight, so the only hope really is just to get as much on the back as possible.
So effectivley what I did to the stang. To go 8's it would need nothing short of a 4 link. Is the 409 in your nick in reference to the Impala motor back in the day?
