big block drop
I'm installing a 396 in my truck, compliments of UNCLE, and was wondering about lowering it. I have 2.5 inch drop spindles and I know the weight of the bb will drop it some also, what would it look like with only that and a 5 inch drop in the rear? I'm wondering if I will need to lower it more to get the look I want. Oh yeah, I'm running 17 inch coys C5's on it......Pics would be great!

Re: big block drop
That sounds like the setup Corn has. He'll no doubt be checking in sometime today.
