    What are you wanting to do to the suspension?? About all you would have to have is a heavier pair of coil springs, that's assuming your front end is in good codition now.

    I was going to fix the front end up, by putting in new bushings, sway bar, disc brakes. Is there anything else i should look at? But for the big block i just need a pair of heavier coil springs?

    All the other stuff is good to have. Get a set of coil springs for a big-block '72 Chevelle. You can get them through Autozone or most other parts suppliers. The parts #s at Autozone are:

    With A/C
    FCS5374S (Standard)
    FCS5536S (Heavy Duty)

    Without AC
    FCS5372S
    FCS5398S
