    Any one running corvette suspension? My chassis is almost complete, using 96 vette suspension. Thinking of changing my mind again, and going with ford 9 inch and vette up front. I have another chassis to start. Just wanted to find out ride quality........thanks...........

    Hey,

    I did one a while back for a guy and when i drove it it was a great ride. I would leave it all vette.But if you are doing pro strret or a high horse motor i would go 9 inch.

    Cliff, you know if the vette rear end out of a 96 would handle 500 horses? It's not the dana 44........ Not planing on dogging it, just want the torque........Thanks P.S. Pic of chassis in my profile........

    Hey,

    Ya it will i have a 8.5 10 bolt and it handles my 500 horse 383.The vette rear ends are good the camaros are junk.My buddys got a zo6 vette and he is well over 600 at the wheels.Did you do the frame work your self? if so that looks great!!

    Been using the c-4 vette stuff on The ADs and a few other hot rods for many years. Works well and is cheap. Exhaust is a pain and like was said if your going to run big HP the niner is stronger.Dont use a vette rack its too quick..adapt the t-bird rack to it...much better. I also did a 57 with total cost and it rode allmost as well...more money but much easer to do

    c-4 suspension

    I have a 1955 Gmc truck I put a 1987 c-4 vette on the front from flat out eng. and I have a 80 camaro rear end with fat man 4 link from no limits.
    The installation was easy for the c-4 and 4-link. Not sure about the ride yet still puting truck together. I put a 95 lt1 with 4l60E.
