I have been doing a little winter project with an engine swap with a t-56 and complete new front end.
Tubular K member
4 wheel disc cobra brakes
331 stroker

I have to replace the struts and not sure what I should go with. This car will be primarily driven on the street with an occasional trip to the drag strip. any idea from anyone else who might have somewhat of the same set-up would be appreciated. I will post more pics and details of the car later.

I like adjustable struts (and shocks), especially for a multi-purpose car. Are you using tubular arms and coil overs? What springs do you plan to run.

Yes, I am using tubular arms and coil overs... Was thinking about the Strange Engineering 10 way adjustable... I am sort of over budget and was not originally planning on replacing them, so I also thought about just a stock replacement/monroe. I am not a car guy by any means so was just looking to get a few opinions.. thanks

The Strange one are hard to beat for the price. I would definately use them over a stock replacement.

I agree that stranges are probably the best bang for the buck.
