My Frontend rebuild

Really wasn't cheap at all.

UMI K-member
UMI A-Arms
UMI Tie-Rod adjuster sleeves
UMI Solid motor mounts
USA made Tie-rod ends (Inner and Outer)
USA made Idler Arm
USA made Center Link
MOOG Swaybar end links
MOOG Swaybar bushings
Eibach Pro-Kit
Founders Performance Camber/Caster Plates
KYB AGX shocks
Reman ACdelco quick ratio steering box
Jeep steering shaft

I could of spent more on shocks, but I think the KYBs will be fine. I have a 34mm sway bar and a wonderbar. This suspension is going to be holding a 383 stroker with a Holley Avenger Stealth Ram system. This car was a V6 car. Going to use the Holley system instead of a GM ECM. Now for pictures! Don't mind the brake lines, I haven't mounted them yet.

Also replaced the rotors, pads, calipers, wheel bearings, dust caps

UMI is the best. Everything fit great and went in without a hassle.

Re: My Frontend rebuild

Nice build! Thanks for choosing UMI and for the kind words.

That engine looks pretty sweet. I'm digging that cylinder head and cam combo. That car should rip.
