Jeff,

Talk to David Spillman, (he posts here). He's somewhere around your area. I believe he has a Sam Moore engine. And I think Sam does cages and such. David would be a good person to start with. He has several friends with an interest in z-cars. Around the Atlanta area, there's several good cage builders and engine builders. But you're up in nascar country and they are all over the place up there.

Look back in old posts for z-car suspension setup. Katman has setup several ARRC winning z-cars and he's posted a basic setup more than once. If you look he won't have to repeat himself, just do a search on katman.
