Order big block, heavy duty with ac. Stock shocks will top out, at speed with dips in the road. Ride quality will be like a brick. I like it and had it in my car for decades. Same in the rear. Extended shocks would be a good idea. My stock rear shocks could only extend 1 1/2" til they topped out. You will also get lots of wheel hop so run heavy duty shocks. I love the lifted look from back in the day.

I ran it the same way for a some time, too, though unintentionally. I can tell you it will also destroy your bump stops over time.
