to tell you the truth , If I had it to do over
I woud go with the original front end set up . I have a buddy that just finished his
frame ( 40 ford) and updated it as far as
brakes shocks and whatever but retained the original suspension. He said that he has driven several with this setup and
for normal driving they actrually drive very good. When I was a teen my dad had a 40 coupe that i drove all over the place . It was stock except a 327 with three speed
and a 57 chevy rear. It drove great as I recall .
