Sure why not. We have a 84 Firebird we run in I / S. Started out as my wifes street car that I stuck a 327 12bolt and 4 speed in. Just get a rulebook and don't make any modifications that are not legal for stock.
Thanx Trevor

Not intending to hi-jack your thread, but I currently have everything unbolted from the front suspension and laying in the floor, and have been looking around at different sites and parts, but I dont know what I realy want to do up front. It is an 84 Z/28 camaro.

The car is completely stock forward of the firewall chassis wise, with the exception of a pair of lakewood 90/10 struts, and a manual steering box, and was 130,000+ miles stock, so an upgrade / rebuild was in order..(overdue)

The rear is my first attempt at building a door car, and is 4 linked with diagonal link, Qa-1 single adjustable coil overs and 14x 32's. It's a bracket car, runs ten flat with a big block glide combo, and weighs 3250 with me in it. Carries the front end about 18 inches high about 60 feet out.

I guess my question is more directed at the stocker guys, concerning the front suspension / steering

What would you do with it, meaning componants , and any assembly tips for when I start going back together.

Modify lower control arm mounting to add caster. Don't be afraid to start a new thread.
