Lets see your drag race stock suspension
 

Hey guys I am getting ready to assemble my frame for my 70. I want a streetable stock suspension that really shines at the drag strip. I keep bouncing around from UMI to making my own arms with rod ends and chromoly arms. I have already set up the front with del-a-lum bushings, low friction ball joints, no sway bar, and 90/10 shocks. The car will look stock down to the firestone wide ovals and I may run it with stock wheels and tires as well as the drag stars with skinnies up front and a 325/50r15 drag radial in the rear. The car is getting a 700+ hp 496 with a M22 trans and a 12 bolt with 4.10s and a brute strength posi. I do like the roto joint which is available from just about everyone.

I used Wolfe Racecraft arms with heim joints at all 8 points in the rear. They're designed as drag race parts, but I wanted them for the articulation for handling.

I've upgraded the axle twice, and added a link-mounted sway bar since that picture was taken.

Oh very cool. How does it drive on the street? Noisy? How was the price?

My car is pretty stiff anyway, but I've put about 20k miles on it so far and have no complaints... The rod-ends are getting near the end of their life expectancy though.

The 12-bolt I had in it for a couple years had noisy gears, and the solid joints definitely transferred that noise into the car. Now I have a 9" and don't really notice too much noise, except over big bumps.

If I were to do it again, I'd probably go with something with Johnny Joint type sphericals that aren't metal-on-metal though, and only do the Wolfe sphericals in the housing ears.
