To start off I have decided to post this in the 351 and 4 cylinder section due to the combining of both components.

I have decided to start my swap from a 2.3 to a 351 by doing the suspension. Is there any advice on whatcomponents or brands to get for this project. If you have a sugestion can you please tell me why??? I want to know from experiences and knowledge which is best. I also have decided to put on the 16" Pony wheels just in case it matters.

 

There was a thread specifically about this a day or so ago, I'll try to find you the link to that page. Myself anda Mod posted a ton of links.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

Wolfe Craft Racing makes great stuff, basically the same concept as UPR, minimalist and good materials.

I have been using UPR products for quite a few years and would never change. Also, some folks who have a huge following,

http://www.maximummotorsports.com/ I know little about them, but the folks who use thier stuff swear by it, and i have looked at the tech articles and instructions they have online and it is really good stuff from a technical standpoint, and they produce a lot of closed course winners so you can say that it is performance proven stuff.

If you need specific advice on components feel free to ask away

 

I really appreciate the advice. I am not sure where to start on the suspension so I thought I would ask. I need to put new shocks and struts on the car anyway so I thought I might as well do that first.I just am wondering about the changes that I am making and how they will effect the 2.3 still in there.
If I change the rear end will there be any problems? Should that wait?
Also what all needs to be done with this upgrade? i assume shocks, struts, springs, and rear end? Anything I am missing anything? Brakes of course. Someone told me 11" brakes? I looked for these in summit racing and didn't see them or maybe they are not labeled as that.
