Need board help to identify the shocks I have. Are these suitable for my V8 conversion?

Or do I need better?

The shocks are:

Fronts: Koni Adjustable P/N 1027 05 13 42 708 (are these sports?)

Rears: Koni Reds P/N 82K - 1722 (non adjustable, I think).

Any help identifying would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill P.

If you look futher on the rears, you may see an arrow with "Heavy" stamped behind it....PN#s look like "old collapse to adjust" Konis.

Hi Ron,

Yep, the rears have the arrow "heavy". So they are adjustable huh?

to adjust, remove, compress, turn

will these suffice for a V8 car?

Yup, those with at least 180's will do just fine. I should know.

Old hydraulics? Thats what I have, pleanty of shock.

Going with adjustable pearches would be a good idea (always want to get the stance and clearance correct, or else it looks funky, and rubs on radiator hoses or something) and AT LEAST 180's (I'd say 200-250... or 180's with a rear sway bar..) Because if you have anything better than a stock sway bar up front (Ie more t bar/more sway bar) then your going to be pushing at low to moderate speeds, and it sucks for driving around town...)
