Awesome ride Pops1967GTX!!!!!
Did you fab the intake or some old school item I have never seen?
Aussie car yes...
I am attaching a photo of my 65 Belvedere II. I don't like the angle of rake on the car, it's to much for my taste and I am going to lower the rear and raise the front a bit. Being a newbie to MOPARS, (always had GM products in the past), I know you can raise the height of the front by adjusting the front suspension. How high have you raised the front of your car and did you do it all by the suspension adjustments?Using 225-75-15 on 15x7 cop car wheels in front and 275-60-15 on 15x8 cop car wheels in back. Though I love the raised front look of the 60's for this car, the ride is sacrificed and it doesn't take much of a pothole to knock the front out of alignment at the raised level.

I am curious to see what you find with your rear suspension. I think yours is even a little lower than mine and I am now accepting ripping everything out and starting from scratch.I am attaching a photo of my 65 Belvedere II.

The car has super stock springs on the rear, I decided to change them out and go back with stock. After that, then I will see where I am in relation to the front end.I am curious to see what you find with your rear suspension.

For a simple adjustment without removing/replacing springs, you could try 1" lowering blocks to lower the rear end. Adjust the torsion bars to set the front height.The car has super stock springs on the rear, I decided to change them out and go back with stock.
