Re: What to do about the drop!!!!

Yikes! Those rear springs are crap for sure.

In order to 'guesstimate' your drop, we'll need some side view pics. Look @ ECE's website for their 'stance' profile pics to get an idea of what you want.

I would go through & inspect the front/rear suspension replacing worn parts as needed (up-grading @ the same time). Poly bushings are not needed w/the a-arms on 67-72's because they're already just a rubber-lined steel bushing/bearing which provide minimal deflection vs. post-73's w/rubber bushings.

What's the measurement between the top of the frame rail & the top of the trailing-arm (directly in front of the rear coils)?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
