Default Help 79 Camaro

Here to join the community. Hello everyone.

I'm currently completely redoing my 79 Camaro. It's my hobby car.
I just finished doing a entire front end polyurethane suspension kit one with graphite lubrication.
I went ahead and got lowering springs with it. I'm now about to put headers on it this weekend. I'm replacing the rear shocks.(Did that front with front suspension kit)

I have the engine picked out.

The engine will be awhile though.

I'm not sure where to go from that. I'm not really a car guy. I find working on the car when I get under there pretty easy and my friend helps hes a mechanic at a dealership.

The condition of the car: The car has no rust very few minor dents. the interior is in pretty good shape needs carpet. I already redid the head liner. Really the interior is the last thing I want to do. I heard there is a "floater kit" to stop wheel hop anyone have a clue?

Anyone have any suggestions where to go next?

the older camaros like 78 on back a few years had leaf springs... those would need traction bars.. i cant say for sure about 79 - 81 but if they had coil springs by chance then you would need a 4 link to hook up. i thought they had leaf springs though..

81 was the last of the leaf springs.
