Front end and rear end
Hey guyz whats up?? I just started building my first hot rod. It's been a fun process so far but i'm having some trouble right now. I've gotten every thing torn down and I've got a bare chassis sitting infront of me. I'm swapping in a chevy 350 4 bolt main and i plan on running about 400 horses out of it.
What strengthening do i need to do on the frame and what type of rear suspention would you suggest?? I don't plan on racing it or professionally showing it i just want something easy and comfortable.
Also what should I do about a front end?? It's my dad's car and he suggests going and finding a front end at a junk yard and fabbing it up to fit. Is this a good idea?? or should i get a front end kit??
Like I said this is my first build so i will frequently be posting to get ideas and help. I thank you for your help in this matter.
