So as my next project I'm getting a 59 GMC 1/2 Ton longbed and I am keeping the stock from axle setup but will be lowering the truck front and rear with mono springs. I also will be adding 4 wheel discs and front and rear swaybars.

Now, what I want to know is if I cut out my firewall to allow further engine set back will it increase the handling of the truck? It will be an LS based motor most likely a new 6.0L with a cam and carb hooked to a manual valve body 4L80E. Fabricating the new firewall and trans tunnel will not be an issue.
