engine change/suspension

[penskesux]

I have a 70 challenger that came from the factory with a 318. I am putting in a 383 magnum(stock specs) and would like to know if there is anything that needs to be done or adjusted or added to compensate for the extra weight of the engine ? Such as shocks, torsion bars, or camber/caster etc.

thanks

Most everyone on cuda_challenger.com recomends going to at least a .96 torsion bar, as far as shocks I recomend upgrading to a modern gas product, the alignment specs do not change because of the extra weight or heavier torsion bar but there are changes that should be made if using radial tires......
