Default 63 Tempest

Look for input and pics of what members have done with 61-63 Tempest/LeMans front ends. Aftermarket looks to be nonexistent. Would be a limited street/ grudge car. Aiming for mid 9’s.

Thank you

On my car the front suspension is basically stock. I have coil over shocks, and Wilwood disc brakes. The steering box, pitman arm, center link, and tie rod ends are all factory stuff. It's a track only car though.

CHE Performance Girard, PA installed this for me. Awesome rack and pinion and custom A arms. We were able to put 7 degrees of caster in it. Here's the link to the build.
