My thoughts exactly. I'm building this car on a shoestring budget. It's a plane jane triple green, 2 barrel 383 that was almost rusted in half when I got it four years ago. It's structurally sound now and sporting a 4 speed. Still need to do the quarters but i'll do them once it can yard drive. It'll be a lot easier to stay motivated if it's a drivable car. Should be on the road for under 20k all in.

I just now read your screen name her and remembered where I heard it before....Aerosmith song, Love in an elevator!

I have his brackets on my 74 Charger on all 4 corners also. I went with the bigger version of yours, off a gt500. Then had him modify the brackets for dual rear calipers as well.

That is terrible!
The 70-81 Camaros were good street cars.

Be careful kick down linkage type and adjustment for the 727 is critical. You can roast that 727 pretty quick if wrong.

Last-ish update on this, it looks like a success. I returned the adjusters to a more reasonable 1/2 way in and the front of the car is up a bit still but looks good, i will adjust a bit more this weekend. Took the car for a test loop of a couple miles to make sure everything felt good and was amazed at how different it is. total changes from the last winter drive before parking were: Properly Adjusted Torsion Bars,New Bilstein B-Body specific shocks, Rebuilt 727, Edelbrock Aluminum Heads, Doug's Headers, Hyperspark Dizzy/coil.

Its practically a new car. Shifts are crazy fast, easily chirps second, road bumps no longer send me into oncoming traffic, exhaust Drone from 75-85km/h is gone. I have to readjust the shift rod (have to shift past D slightly and back to get into D) and doesn't downshift from 3-2 on a acceleration test, but i also dont think i went above 50% throttle so may not be enough to get it to, its WAY faster to accelerate with a working trans and better timing setup. even without it wanting to downshift, in 3rd, going from 30ish kmh to 100 was amazing.

now i have to get the pestering thought of upgrading the disc brakes out of my head, now that i confirmed my front spindles are the 1 3/8 73+ size bearings...
