1963 Tempest Build
 
Hi fellas,

Been a long time since I had a major project. Looking for pictures, advice, and options for the 61-63 front suspension. Over the years I have watched a lot of fast Little Indians rip down the 1/4 mile! With no aftermarket what have members done.

Build is a 4 link rear suspension and looking to retain as much body structure as possible.

Welcome to the board! Here's what I did with my 63 back when it was being built. It actually worked pretty well. I believe Dave Johnson went high 8's with a stock steering set-up.

Hi there, welcome

You may want to look for TwoOldGoats on here. He runs one, I sold him my blower/intake set up and he runs in the 7s I believe.

That may help too
