I dont no what kind of coil overs they r but will get more info as soon as i can. the motor is a 355 sbc roller can 650 lift [email protected] gears...stall is 5000...rear tire 32.14.15 .desk top dyno was about 515hp.Dont no if that helps.



Funny but I had 85lb springs in the back of my vega with a BB :shock:
