Big Block Conversion, do it again?

1) Should I just get the motor mount kit from Schumacher ALONG WITH the headers they sell for the conversion?

the mounts work very nice, if ya get spool type you'll need a 73-up k-frame. or you can just buy the mounts that will work with your 68 k-frame. they also work very well. they also used to sell a magnum mount and was tear proof. not sure if they still have that or not but you can look into that.. their headers are small but fit well. have seen guys in the 11's with them so they aren't horrible thats for sure..
* i just looked it up.. they now have a poly lock mount,http://www.engine-swaps.com/Pages/ProductsType/PolyLoc.html

2) I know I have to convert front brakes to disc, but what about suspension? Where did you get your kit from or did you build it?
yes disc brakes are highly recommended. you would be silly not to use disc brakes. the stopping difference is light years better. there are many kits out there or you can just gather the parts yourself and do it. you can get the used upper arms and spindles cheap if you are patient and look around, read through these pages.. http://www.bigblockdart.com/techpages/dbconversion.shtml http://www.bigblockdart.com/techpages/spindles.shtml

3) Are heavier torsion bars readily available and suggested?
yes you can get a ton of different size torsion bars from many different vendors. all depends on your intended usage as to what size you go for. for a mainly street car that may only see the track once or twice a year i'd go with .920 bars at a minimum. for something you want to handle then ya want something over 1". for mostly drag strip then the smaller the better for that weight transfer.

4) What about rear suspension?
many many choices of leaf springs out there.. the deision will be made on your intended usage.

5) I'm sure I'm going to have to put in a A Body 8 3/4 housing correct?
again there are many ways to go here.. depends on intended usage.

6) I want to put a 727 behind it, will this clear the body tunnel?
easy bolt in deal.

7) WHERE DO I GET A HINGED HOOD WITH LARGE SCOOP OR THE SCOOP I'VE SEEN ON A LOT OF GTS CARS? not sure..
