Re: I need to raise the front end of a Dodge 330

[Byron Crump <crumpbb@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I did not build the car and all I have is specs that were given to me, for example:

1965 8 3/4 rear end with sure grip

489 case with 430 gears

Super Stock rear suspension

Frame connectors

Drive shaft loop

6 cylinder torsion bars
