delta881972

my 72 delta88 is a stock 350/th350 car and am currently building a 455 and looking for a th400 to swap into it. im sure the extra weight in the front will require front suspension modification but not sure how to approach this.... is the frame the same on the 88's(or even the 98's) that came stock with the 455 to where it would be a simple unbolt/rebolt to swap fronts?

any other helpful tips to steer me in the right direction would be GREATLY appreciated! please reply to my email --- harleyjasondavidson@hotmail.com


thanks everybody!

The only difference from the factory was the spring rate used in the front springs. You can change these if you want, but in reality the difference in weight will be on the order of 100 lbs. This will be virtually unnoticeable in the ride height.

If you do plan to change the front springs, you MIGHTASWELL rebuild the front suspension...
