Loooking for a 460 block to start a new project. Should I be looking for a particular year, from a truck or car, etc! Also, do I modify the shock towers before I even attempt to drop in the "Beast"

I really like your shock tower brackets for your shocks!

Did you make them or buy them?

Do you use a shock length shock?
