Re: Build front suspension before or after mounting the engine?

Thanks for the information, it's appreciated. Looks like I have plenty to do with or without an oil pan currently in paint prison.

For what it's worth, I highly recommend securing the coil springs when removing or installing the suspension. It's simple to do, hopefully unnecessary, but better than a coil spring to the head.
