V8 Shocks for Model A ?????
 

I have 6 NOS V8 Shocks that I've had for about 40 years or so. Since my existing stock shocks are past rebuild-able I thought that I might install two pair of them on my A Coupe. Has anyone out there done this and with what success have you had( if any).Any tips?

The fronts will most likely hit the brake rods and bend them.

the front will hit the brake rod and on the front you need to bend the shock arms to match up to the balls on the spring perches, on the rears you need to again bend your shock arms to line up with the balls.
