Will the Ball joints/tierod on the grand nat will go right on the spindle no problem?
yes they will BUT..... theres always a but
the B-body spindles are taller than the g-body
so you will either need ALOT of alingment shims but thats not really a good idea
moog makes a offset shaft for the upper control arm (better idea)
or use a aftermarket upper control arm like UB machine, Hotchkis or global west. (I have Hotchkis) these arm at made for the 12" swap. (i have one very thin shim in onr arm for the whole alingment)
you will also need to use F-body 1LE rotors - Raybestos (5994)
because the b-body rotors will be 5 on 5 bolt pattern. the 1LE's are 4 3\4 x 5" and you CAN use a 15x7 wheel.
