hmmm...wolfe minitubs fit pretty well from what I read on thirdgen.org

Looks like I may go with a BMR k-member with LS1 mounts and a pinto steering setup (manual steering)
QA1 double adjustable struts up front (coil over)
AFCO DA shocks in the back
probably will roll on a 275/60/15 drag radial tire

will probably custom build my own moly cage...

Sounds like another racecar?
My 3rd gen uses shorter racecar (Koni/Lamb) struts that still bolt into the same stock location. I moved the wheels inboard slightly to lower it and added caster.
Cool build.

If you need a donor, I have a NICE 88 IROC I've been thinking about selling. Unless this build inspires me....

Any reason your going with the proflow other than packaging? Your race car had a super Vic right?
