| RE: Setup to drag race |

Well you for sure don't want to cut the springs if this is to be a street/strip car. Your spring rate with those big block springs will be so high that the front won't compress and rebound for weight transfer. It will also ride like a dump truck on the street. You're best bet is to get a set of six cylinder springs or no-option small block springs and use a bigger front sway bar. That way you'll have the front suspension reaction and limit body roll with the larger bar. You might also look at the compression/rebound of the shocks. Drag cars generally use 90/10 but those can be a little difficult to live with on the street. 60/40s are a better mix for a dual-use car. If you have the bucks, you can also get adjustables.
I personally can't help you on the 3550 swap other than to let you know it's a common swap and there should be an abundance of information online if you use a search engine. |
