Hi, new guy here. I am very used to Thirdgen and Forthgen Firebirds,
I own a 1984, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991 and 2000. I love Firebirds, in
fact the only cars I have ever owned are Firebirds. I even have a
Thirdgen screamin' chicken tattooed on my back. However, I have
joined because I am helping my Dad restore his 1967 Firebird. Little
history on it, my great uncle bought it for his wife who in turn
never got her drivers licence. It has a accumulated a total of
49,xxx miles on it. So, that is a little about me.
My question: We are doing basically an upgrade and restore on the
67. It is a 230cc OHC 6. So, what I am wondering is, what would be
a good suspension kit for it? I was thinking some sort of multi-leaf
rear springs to replace the mono-leaf spring, polyurethane bushings
all around, some sort of upgraded shocks, sway bar kit front and
rear, and new springs up front. However, all the kits are for a
V-8. What is the weight difference in the engines between the OHC 6
and the 327? It is listed at 200lbs between a I6 and a 327, however
I don't know how much of that is engine vs upgraded other things.
Thanks!
Douglas
