Setting up my suspension

[Mrturner1]

So I've got a nice roudy 355 now, a 3000 rpm stall converter, and a 3.73 rear end with a mini spool, and totally stock very old suspension. It's a 1970 C10 LWB, and I'm looking for ideas for the rear suspension mostly because the front is getting springs/shocks and a sway bar. I recently installed the mini spool and now I have some wheel hop when I launch hard and get the tires spinning. I'd like to cure the wheel hop and also set the rear suspension up well enough to hit my first goal with this truck which is to break into the 12's. I'd be pretty happy with that I also want to lower it a little and get it sitting level but without drop spindles. Not sure what my horsepower is but basically it's a 355 with 170cc RHS iron heads, 2.02/1.60's and 67cc chambers with a .015 shim head gasket which is around 10.5-1 give or take. Comp 280H cam and 1.5 rockers, Edelbrock RPM manifold and Edelbrock 650avs carb. Long tubes and it still has the 2 1/4" bolt in flowmaster exhaust but that's getting scrapped for a 2 1/2" Borla XR1 exhaust.

I think there's a little left on the table with the Edelbrock 650 carb, and I've been on the fence about a Holley or Holley based carb for a while. Some first hand experience on a swap would be great too

Thanks guys
