Dres, no offense intended, but the 6 n' the Spit both, were hot tickets in their day. But even in their day the suspensions were nothin' to write home about. Given the transplant of a Stewie mill? I dunno. It jus' seems like fittin' 357 into a 38.
Unless the suspension on the 6 n' the Spit were brought to racin' levels, I don't think that it's a good match.
If the chassis/suspension is prepped to deal with it n' can competently deal with what takes place between 7 to 9 grand (or 6500 to 8 grand in the later versions) then I'd like to hear about the resultin' rides. If you're plannin' on droppin' it in a stock (knee-action shocks, weren't they?) suspendered unit, well, I dunno 'bout that.
Whichever way you go, good luck, keep us posted n' be well.
(knee-action shock absorbers . . now there's a technical marvel that led to many therapy sessions)
