Default Need help - Modifying 1962 Tempest LeMans

Hey everyone,

I recently acquired a 1962 Pontiac Tempest LeMans Coupe. The engine and transmission are in terrible shape but I will be putting in a 454 chevy and a 6 speed manual transmission by cutting in and welding a transmission cage. I need help on a few things and was hoping to get pointers.

I need a new rear axle because I will be removing the transaxle, and I can’t seem to find any information on which axles fit my car. I also will need a driveshaft to run to the new transmission which will now be in the front, and finally I need to rebuild the front suspension. would it be recommended I go OEM or are there any suspension kits that would allow the car to handle a bit more power from the 454 motor?

TLDR - Need to find a new axle and suspension parts that will bolt onto my pontiac
