As much as I really dislike redo's...the rear end wasn't sitting right with me so I decided to change out the rear suspension with a new set of 4-leaf springs. Unfortunately, that didn't provide much of any change as the original leaf springs were really in excellent condition, so I also added a longer set of (4") rear shackles. This provided another inch of height to the rear so now I have a little more tire clearance. I also put the airlift bags back under the car for some added insurance. I don't want to risk having a tire hit the quarter panel should one of the Gabriel shocks fail.
Now, back to buttoning up the engine!

I got an original flat bottom breather with the car but it's so rusted and pitted that it's going to need some extra time and work in order to save it. For the time being, I've started putting the motor together with a repro breather base and this NOS flange. Maybe I can bring back the old base and lid...but that will be later on. I do like that the breather covers up the AED 750 Ultra that's hiding underneath it. I'm kinda digging the Edelbrock covers on there too!. Valves are now set, ignition is being wired up today and I am waiting on some hose nipples and gaskets coming from Summit. Shouldn't be long until I can fire it up again as it's starting to take shape here.

Where did you order your original style leaf springs from ? I need 5 leaf stock height for my 70 L78.
Thanks, Gary

Got a few care packages in the mail today. A vintage SW tach that will be going into the car, a beautifully restored Hurst RamRod that I may swap in at a later date, some old sun gauges for a future project, and a set of original Z/28 frame mounts that Buddy donated for use on this build. They will likely go in once the DZ motor is built for the car. (Thanks again Buddy!)
And thank you for the bonus care package, Jason. Those little gems are very cool and will be utilized. Graeme
