Hi guys, can you guys possibly open some avenues for a parts list to a Metric/Monte front end? We have to run stock, but parts for ball joints and what-not can be other GM parts. I have heard a lower from a full size Impala 77-up, an upper from Camaro's. Spindles from an Astro, so on... Any advice would be great. We are on a 12-14" banked half mile oval. Final drive will vary from 5.89-600 (depending on tranny/diff ratios), and approx. final weight of 3300.

Im running all factory stuff on mine, other than last week i installed a set of MOOG6117 lower balljoints, and noticed a HUGE improvement in handling, before i was consistantly finnishing 2nd or 3rd with the leader about 5 car lengths ahead of me, and this weekend we were door to door across the finnish line

Ye, Poly bushings are a must anymore. Hopefully, this new setup will work good for next season. Our track lends itself to the Nova/Camaro shassis (leaf spring) setup. They seem to go around our track quicker. Roll center on these cars is somewhere near China I'm sure.... but I am determined to get it handling right.
