  1. Welcome Michael! Great looking Monte to inherit and start with.
  2. Yes, ride height and stiffness can be adjusted. The ones you have a link to are single adjustable from what you are describing i would look into double adjustable shocks for even more refinement.
  3. You can get different spring rates with the coilovers from drag racing to road course and every in between. Also get the double adjustable shock and get infinite adjustability. Here is a pic of the springs in "Barn Find" the spring rates should be on the moog website.
  4. On "Big Red" I have qa1 single adjustable coilovers in the front. 1970 SS454. Adjustable to any height you like. On "Barn Find" I have factory moog replacement coils with Monroe gas shocks. 1971 402 auto ALOT of options.
  5. Welcome! Congratulations on your purchase!

    Welcome Steve! Await pics of your pride and joys.
  7. Welcome Pete! Next to a true SS the 402 cars are the next desirable ones. They basically could be optioned like an SS only with less cubes. We have 2 71 402s in our stables an auto and a factory 4speed. Good luck on your decision.
  8. Welcome Cory! Nice looking 72 you and dad purchased.
  9. Worse case scenario, you need 12v to the switch going in and a wire on the other terminal to the kickdown terminal of the transmission.
  10. Our 1971 402 auto "Barn Find" has power bench seat and power trunk release
  11. What rear end are you using? The 12 bolt has a longer pinion than a 10 bolt. Also the u- joint is made by a few companies. It used to be called a "trick" joint by Lakewood. Moog also makes it, I believe it's called a "combo" joint. It has the 350 big caps and the 400 small caps.
  12. I used the sem trim black like Dennis suggested to you on my son's dash before doing the chrome trim with a paint marker.

    My 70 "Big Red" has the seat belt pockets on the console.
  14. I guess it may be time to start to figure out where "Big Red" is and see what, if anything she may need after a LONG winters nap. 🤔

    Welcome Kevin! Do you know the original color combo to your new acquisition? What engine/trans combo?
