LOTS of Bag related questions

[BK]

well, ive got a list, so ill kinda make them numbered so its easy, and thanks in advance. background, ive got a 65 chevy panel, and ive got slam specialties bags, 3/8 valves, 1/2 lines, 2 viair 450 compressors, 12 gallon air tank, 175psi switch.

1. Im running stock alternator on my 327, and it doesnt seem to do the job. Even tonight, i was driving around with the compressors going, and the voltage went down to like 9 volts, so i shut them off, and they really bog after a short while. I have another battery that i could put in, along with the relay setup to have the compressors run of it and charge when its running. I was wondering what suggestions you guys had for alternators to run or what your running. my battery is toast i think, so thought i may as well upgrade the whole charging system at once.

2. I picked up a 73-87 chevy frame, ill be swapping the front suspension over, and the rear axle. 2 q's on this one. one, will the front crossmember bolt up to my frame? Also, if it will, i will just notch it while its out. number 2, what has everyone done when using a leaf sprung axle on a trailing arm, cut the perches off and weld them to the other axle? What do you think about rewelding them to compensate for the added pinion angle, anyone know how much to change it when its on the ground, as low as it can go?

3. the frame if got also has an automatic tranny x-member(which i need, running a 700r4) and i was wondering if it will work, and if i need to shim it up to not drag.

4. Anyone do an lt1 swap into a 60-87 chevy truck. I swapped an lt1 into a v6 camaro today and yesterday, and it was quite easy, and there were only like 3 connections going into the cab, one for ignition, one for guages i believe, and one for somethign else. computer seemed stand alone, so i think i wanna do that swap, just wondering if anyone has done it.

5. im gonna be low, on the ground, and would like to know what any of you 60-66 owners are doing bout that heavy ass hood while having no inner fenders.

well, i think thats all for tonight, let me know, and any other suggestions on bagging a 65 panel to lay frame front to rear let me know.
