I tore the motor down to a short block, and replaced all the seals and gaskets, added a new oil pan, timing chain cover, water pump, fuel pump, starter, and a new Edelbrock performer intake and 650 CFM carb. I also repainted it, those are just iron heads that I painted with aluminum paint.

Then I started the suspension tear-down

I am switching from 6 lug to 5 lug, so I have new axles to install in the rear and a set of 2.5in drop disc brake spindles to install up front. At the same time I will be installing 4'' drop coil springs to bring the rear down and 3'' drop coils up front. Combined with the spindles I should have a 5.5 /4 drop.

This is one of the new 5 lug axles
