Spitz,
For the front the clevis is $60.00/pair and a 13" extended length shock then bolts right as long as the top mounts are welded on straight. EM's tend to have some shift of the upper mount during welding which can then cause interference with the spring. You may or may not have to relocate the hole for the top shock mount. Ed B. aka COBRA427 used the stock-type upper mount and had no problem with his conversion while I did. I used 350#, 8" springs with an aluminum sm blk.

There are a couple of different ways to do the rear, both being more involved and require fabricated lower mounts and different trailing arms to gain clearance for the coilover. The trailing arms are a good idea even if you dont go with coilovers since the stock EM arms allow toe changes under hard acceleration out of corners. On the street it's not that big of a deal but on the track it makes for erratic handling... not good with a 90" WB.

If anyone is interested in more specifics PM me and I'll give you my number.

Scott
