Reading these prices
Starting prices aren't always comparable. Some include suspension, steering and brakes; some are a bare frame or front clip and the rest is extra. Check the Front and Rear columns and each product's notes before comparing totals. "Price on request" means the builder quotes each build. Confirm with the builder before you order, and send corrections through our contact page.
Upgrade the original chassis
- How it's built
- Unibody with welded-in front frame rails and a bolt-in K-member
- Front suspension
- SLA with longitudinal torsion bars, strut rods; recirculating-ball box
- Rear suspension
- Solid axle (8.75 / Dana 60) on leaf springs
- Weak spots
- A long, heavy unibody with unconnected rails, so it flexes under big-block torque. Soft torsion bars, rubber bushings and a slow box give heavy roll and poor feel.
Stiffening the body or frame? We list 6 kits for this car, such as frame rails, subframe connectors and braces, on its Chassis stiffening page.
