Hello B Body family!
So, I have a 66 Coronet convertible and am considering replacing the OE rear leaf spring suspension with a 4 link system. I want to do this for two main reasons. 1) update the 50 plus year suspension from it '66 tired materials and 2) hope to gain more tire space for the rear tires/wheels.
The goal is to build a street muscle cruiser with a newly built 440 dual quad with expected HP 500+ and has the 8 3/4 rear in it currently.
Has anyone else done this conversion (or similar)? And if so did you gain reasonable wider tire clearance when doing it? Any other challenges or reasons not to do the conversion? TIA!
