I'd run the Del-A-Lum bushings, the Moog ball joints (long upper), and the Moog upper shafts with the big offset.

I think if you get the car set up right you can get a decent light on a .400 tree without deep staging. That car should go 1.28 in the 60', and when it does it'll leave hard enough to cut a light.
Global West kit ETK 6769 with bushings, offset shaft and joints, but I can't find the length of the joints. The Moog joints seem to be 3/8 long, whereas some others are advertised as 1/2 longer than OEM.

The only way this car could go 1.28 is we put one of your engines in it.
