Paul, you can look at "HEIDTS" or there are numerous makers of the tubular control arms out there. Tommy, (Bethania Garage) makes a very nice, but pretty standard set of tubular control arms. (We use em all the time.)

Lately, I've been going with strutless lower control arms, OR using an adjustable strut in it's place. Gives you a much wider range of adjustments over the stock fixed rod. If you go with Tommy's---have him set you up with the Carrerra coil overs (or we will). You will want to go to 500lb springs with that block.

If you really want to get serious let us supply you with a full set of Wildwoods or Baer brakes. Now you're really ready to stop that big block! Whichever way you go, it's time to get discs on the rear.

DV...when you order the control arms from Tommy, you will get the complete package including the upper bracket
