Looking for advice on what would be a good replacement for my existing '67 front suspension with a new modern suspension. Hoping to improve the ride. I have a LS1 and I think it is a little heavier than the orginal 400 that it was born with. Probably need to go with new coil overs my coils appear to be the existing. Thanks in advance.

Tough question. You can run the entire gamut from aftermarket tubular control arms and coilovers to complete modern replacement subframe that fits those parts, rack and pinion steering, and extra wide tires. Kinda depends on how deep you want to get into it. Detroit Speed Modern SubframeThe info here may be a bit dated, but I have hung onto it because it discusses a bunch of 1st Gen F-body suspension issues from an autocross racer's point of view: Pozzi Racing

Old projects, gone but not forgotten:
1967 FB 400, original CA car. After 22 years of work, trashed by the guy who was supposed to paint it. I had to sell it.

Appreciate the response, I know this is a subject that could go on for ever. Good starting point for me though.
