Just wondering if anyone can lead me to someone who sells drop spindles for my 1964 Lesabre? I'm looking to lower the front end about 2" and would prefer not to cut the springs.
Any leads would...
Yes, I used a torque wrench on everything when putting the engine back together! And no, the rods weren't reconditioned by the machinist, and thats what failed, one of the rods basically came apart...

Just curious if anyone can steer me in the correct direction to find a set of motor mounts for my 1964 Lesabre with the 300. I would love to get a new pair as mine are completely ruined.
I pulled...
Those thing must handle like they're on rails!!:jeez:

Hello all, I have some questions regarding rim spacing for my 64 LeSabre. I'm thinking of putting 18" x 7.5" wide rims with a 4.25 backspace on the front and possibly 20" x 8" with a 4.5" backspace...
