    Finally doing it

    Well, with some serious thought, i'm gonna do what i've always wanted. Put a Chevy small block in an E30. I figured I would start with the suspension since the motor for it will soon be done. Today I fabbed and fit some Chevy 1/2 ton springs in the rear to get the car up in the air a bit. I think I might cut a coil or two. Not sure yet until i get the wheel/tire fitment desired.

        It seems like that lift would get in the way...

            If you get some air shocks and shackels from JCWhitney, You could get it to sit higher.

                          Did the flatbilled hat get stuck within the confines of the coilspring or rear trailing arm?
