I'm trying to get a parts list together for my 65' post car chassis. I'm torn on what to do. I want my car to be a tight, mild performing driver. Here's some info:
400-450hp 355ci
auto(I have a turbo 350 but may go 700r40
373 posi(may go 4:10w/overdrive)
I'm going to box the control arms and maybe the frame
If I dont go poly I will buy all my suspension parts from NAPA. What should I do?

From your post it sounds like you want a nice daily driver that is somewhat more efficient on turns than a factory 65. If I'm reading this correctly than your best bet is to go with factory suspension pieces, lower your car slightly (1"-1-1/2") and go with some stiff low-profile tires.

Thats exactly what I'm looking for! I am going to put front disc brakes on so do I get drop spindles or just drop springs all around? Got any suggestions for where to get them? Don't want to drain my wallet but I'm not afraid to spend some money. Thanks for the help!

I wouldn't get drop spindles for a slight drop.

Eibach and Hotchkis make good drop-spring kits.
