Guys ... thanks for the replies and suggestions .
Bob , I really like your idea about using spherical rod ends on the control arms , with ( I assume ) spacers to fill out the mounting bracket . Looks like I have another Winter project . Also looking at changing master cylinders sizes ( after calculations and input from my buddy at Roush Racing ) to match more closely the brake calipers for track usage .
The projects never end ... finally got the carb tuned to the merged collectors I had made earlier and installed ..... major hp and torque increase .... and now you give me another project

.
Just curious , did you make a jig/fixture for the conversion ??
