I always try to research the Archives here before posting what would seem to be obvious "repeat questions." However, although this is certainly a question that has come up in years past, I wasn't able to find quickly any recent responses.
I'd simply like to know what everyone currently recommends for replacement shocks for a '65 small block. This is assuming that I can't find originals and do not wish to pay $850 for restamped non-originals. I understand that some of the older available replacements were closer in configuration to the originals than the current GM replacements. So are there any newer available replacement shocks that stand a better chance of receiving minimal judging deductions (assuming one went to the trouble of re-painting using the correct Quanta blue-gray paint and also of affixing the appropriate sticker)?
Thanks as always in advance for your input.
