First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Douglas,
Check out Performance Suspension Technology: http://www.p-s-t.com/ I installed one of their Stage III Handling Kits on my '68, and it drives like a new car. You will need to size your coil springs according to the engine that is in the car. PST can help you with that. My car has a 400 ci in it, and I believe I bought 600 lb/in coils. Piece of advice: Before you do any disassembly, take more photos of the car than you think you will need. They will come in handy later as reference points when you are assembling. Good luck!

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 -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
