Looks like you have a good start. For that much power and tire I would rather do a 4 link with coilovers but the leaf spring with caltracs can probably give you what you need.

I vote for the turbo LS with a 4l80e.

Re: tubbed 77

I picked up a 2007 burb with a 6.0 and 4l80e so that's going to be the hart
also picked up a set of weld pro star with new tires 33x19.5x15 and matching front pro sportsman
leaving bed stock height
I don't plan on racing it, more drive to car shows, sunday drives and towing my boat to boat events

at this point going springs and maybe down the road do a 4 link

You're not messing around. The frame looks really clean. BTW, I like the inset shelves on the outside of the stairway wall. Very architectural. Nice shop.
