Cone Style Plastic Rally Centers

Bushings!!! HELP

I am in need of bushings for my drivers side door. The door “sags” a little bit after we hung it. So it is vital to get the door lined up before I weld in the new quarter panel. Can someone direct me to a source for these.

Thanks in advance guys/ladies

Has anyone here happen to have used this shop in NJ for a rebuild or to purchase a crate engine??http://www.eddiesvalvegrinding.com/

It seems to be a nice well rounded shop. I was thinking of perhaps running my car all this year,then sending them my matching numbers 69 340 for a rebuild . I think I might like to up the power output some to.It would be nice to get it back with around 360 / 370 hp. any comments…
