Z/28 suspension, and Pete's drop knuckles. Granted, this setup will probably also run you 7K, but it'll be a complete suspension, and a very good one. The Z/28 stuff works very well together, and with the drop knuckles, you'll get the increased front track, lower cg with corrected geometry, and all the other benefits. The suspension won't be adjustable, but I think it'll be good enough that you won't miss it. RideTech Triple Adjustables and the Knuckle Drop. again, an expensive option, which won't have quite the minute level of fine-tuning that the Z/28 setup will have, but you'll be able to soften if up for the street, tighten it up for the track, and corner-balance it. As for me, I got an exceptional deal on a used set of Pedders XAs, so now I'll be saving my pennies for the knuckles

Back at it this weekend. Got a few rockers in and noticed that the clearance of the rockers weren't where they needed to be. Had to take a dremel and remove some material from the valve cover rail to make room. I also found while checking the wipe pattern that the bottom of the rocker was hitting the stamp on top of the stand bolts. Below you can see the mark on one rocker after just a few revolutions. Here is the culprit. You can see where the rocker was hitting the bolt head. Problem solved. Just smoothed the top of the head. Rockers in and lash set Timing cover and damper installed Headers and valve covers going back on

I could've gotten this thing started this weekend, but I'm unsure as to what I'm going to do with the intake manifold. Last minute I decided I would try to find a sheet metal intake.
