Just hope that both side "center" in the same place.
You really want a ball type pivot on the bottom with a strut rod type suspension.
Take a look at some of the stuff for early Mustangs or Chevy II's
One other thing..THICKER body bushings give you more room between the carb and the hood.
Hey Mark,
I was just catching up on some of these post. What do you mean by-
"You really want a ball type pivot on the bottom with a strut rod type suspension."
Are you talking about a Heim type joint at the end of the strut rod where it goes through the frame up front?

I will probaly use a rubber bottom bushing with the serrates removed, do you think this would be a better option so I can address the caster issue?
Thanks for any input-
