Suspension
I had posted about wanting a 55 or 56 Healey to build. Now I'm thinking that the way to go would be a Jules frame, rack and pinion and all new metal, probably not a whole lot more than spending $25K plus, for a 53-55 car in decent shape. What are some suspension options? I'll be using a LS3 and Tremec TKO600. I'd like a coil over suspension and wouldn't mind pin drive hubs.

There's this one: [www.hotrod.com] If you are going a more custom route, take a look at Bill McMahon's car: [forum.britishv8.org] He built his own tube frame set up with his own suspension parts and small block Ford. He then hung his old Healey body parts on the frame. Kind of like a Factory Five Healey.
