I agree on the valving concern when utilizing front shocks in a rear application but I know guys have done it. Me personally? I always try to stick w/the correct shocks & move the mounts as needed to get them to work. If I can't tweak the mount locations, I'll seek out the closest possible application w/the correct shock ends & length required (I used Monte Carlo SS/g-body shocks for the rear of my 90).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
