Well, I took the leap and will let you know how it turns out. Here's what I bought:
Ebay tubular upper/lower control arms w. urethane bushings and ball joints
UMI tubular rear control and trailing arm kit
Moog 5400 Front and CC5501 Rear springs
Hellwig rear sway bar
KYB Gas shocks for all 4 corners
Energy Suspension end links with urethane bushings
Energy Suspensions urethane sway bar bushings
Rear disc brake conversion kit with Caddy Eldorado calipers/ebrake
Moog rear spring isolators
GM proportioning valve kit w. lines
New brake hose lines
New rear brake hardlines
Carter M6907 mechanical fuel pump (taking out the whiney Holley red pump)
Cardone 1997 Jeep steering box
Lares 200 rag joint
Repro RAV Holley dual feed fuel hardline
I went with the Carter M6907 pump since the previous owner had pulled the return and vapor lines off the car and the carter pump did not require either. Supposed to flow 120 GPH at 5.5 - 6 psi.
I'll let you know how this turns out w. pics when done. Car had a front disc conversion done by the prior owner and no proportioning valve installed so the car really has always had poor braking. Should be interesting to see how it drives when done. With the suspension in place and the TH400 perf rebuild/3.55 posi in place, it should be much more enjoyable to drive.
Now I have to work on how I can make my "springy" stock seats (I put in new foam buns before reicovering them) feel like the new cars!
