IIRC the tbird coils give you about 3.5-4" of lift so yes you will need new LCAs.

Cheapest way is a Hack n Tap. You use a front driveshaft from an auto XJ in the rear with it.

What's the name for the T-shaped fill cap that can be spliced into the upper radiator hose?

I remember seeing one for sale but can't find which site it was on, anyone know?
