66' Satellite Rear Suspension Rebuild

[robinsonwr]

Well guys after much debate and much advise I decided to stay with the stock appearing theme. The car will driven a lot once complete so I decided on XHD springs, ADDCO 675 rear sway bar, New adjustable front hangers (AR095), hanger reinforcement plates (AR107), and Rancho RS99116 9-way adjustable shocks. I will probably add an adjustable pinion snubber also. I wanted a suspension that would plant some power without giving up on ride quality. Yes a 440/512 mill will be between the frame rails making around 600hp and 650tq. Does this combination have validity on what I want?

Should work fine for what you say you will be doing. Might not hook all that torque as well as a set of Cal Traks but will look more original.

I appreciate your comment. I know the Cal Traks are the way to go if I were leaning more toward street/strip. I will be extremely happy to slap on the 28 X 9 X 14 MT's and click off a low 12 pass. I do not think that will be totally out of the question with the set up chosen. Actually I think it could possibly have some 11's if she is tuned correctly. What do you think?

I think I will start with the shocks set for 6-7 on driver's side and 3-4 on passenger side.
