wilwood make a drop spindle that is way cheaper than the cpp one..however it is made for wilwood brake assemblies ONLY..it is the dynalite series...and I am leaning that way

I recommend fun bags

eliminate both front, and rear, shocks AND coils...going to be looking for pics now!!!

yes monte70car...Rob is using them for his pro street build...they look exactly like the CPP spindles...he has no complaints about them and they are the ones that I will be using in my build also as you say they are a good price and I don't need the heidts or other brand name with a big price on them... just the function...I have seen some that a fellow is using on a chevelle website and the are less than 100$ but I believe there are fitment issues...I'm sure they are offshore...but what isn't now????...when I am looking at parts I will spend extra for the US built stuff but not if its something trivial...just because it costs WAAAY more to get anything up north of the border

maybe wrap t in some insulation to keep from condensation....if you have a/c

anyone install the TMI sport R seats???....I'm leaning to that style

OOH Daryl sounds like you have planted in info gathering seed for me

I am totally interested also...QA1 is #1 on my list....but I can be swayed

Similar only to the rear wheels.... the one piece trunk i got from gold leaf is only for chevelles..however the catalogue lists both..but you have to read carefully as most parts are for chevelles...some are for montes

a little rumble in the concrete jungle

ratio is open to any suggestions..tires are mickey thompson sport radials being 29x15x20...he did mention that he would cc the chambers after the valve job..picked up a 4l80e for a rebuild also..friend has a shop

my first condition was pump gas only..power level?..well there was no real target..i just want to get some nice crisp throttle response and some get up and go power and be reliable...I will be going back to the builder to chat again on the specifics..and throw him questions regarding your responses here...I can never have too much info and opinions....I'm just a newbie sponging every bit of info... I do, of course, want to keep my costs as low as possible ...looking for the best bang for the buck

I have my hydro boost and mcpv-1 CPP master cylinder painted and set aside till next year

David...I have been trying to follow every build thread both here and on the chevelle sight ( as well yours..and THAT is alot of reading)..as I have found the boys that love their chevelles like to put the biggest motor available in them..I am not looking for something insane, just trying to work with what I have... as my education is limited, and not to the extent that you and others have, I must rely on what suggestion my future builder can give me. I have learned alot form others builds but I have far to go in education in engine math. There is lots of body work to do so time is not critical..Can any body give me a approximate cost of doing a build in the states would be...just a ballpark?? Block and heads keeping..deck block,,plane heads....bore to 496 new oil pump, crank, rods,valves,intake,carb,cam, rockers,lifters....all the goodies new is 6k too much..seems about right to me

MGD...no trailer pulling...this is for the monte...there is another member here doing almost the same project with both of us doing back halfs...however robert has gone with the pro street build with 33x18 tires mine are 29x15 on 20" rims mine will be more pro touring with enough power for lighting the tires up..Mike the rotating assemblies I have looked at are all forged complete with crank rods pistons rings

thanks for the response Sam.. as usual great advice...his suggestion is to "new" everything..complete rotating assembly (yes forged) maybe scat or lunati but he is very turned on to comp cams (although I have read about wiped out cams with flat tappet)...I will be going with a hyd roller cam and lifters...increasing the valves size also...we are talking in the 6k range as that is the average I have been dealing with here north of the border..I'm sure it would be waaay cheaper if done in the U.S.....even though I could get a good crate motor I want to keep the block..1973...aluminum heads would just destroy my interior upholstery budget

yes Larry I have..I have heard good things, but I have also heard some bad things too..I have 2 more builders to "interview" then I will make a final decision but this guy in Ajax has my confidence so far

after talking with many engine builders I have finally found one that I am comfortable with this weekend...looking for some opinions here..he has suggested taking my mark iv 454 to a 496 level,,since everything will be done over anyway..zero decking,,heads planed.etc...As I am looking for a torque monster and there will be no track time or autocrossing ....is this a regular thing when building a fresh engine..why not a 468??? is there a BIG difference in the 2 over-bores??..will be using stock 781 heads..2 bolt main..haven't got to the cam selection as of yet..just looking for something streetable with nice crisp throttle response that will roast the marshmallows once on a while

awesome Rob ...what drop spindles did you go with???...a guy on the chevelle forums got a pair on ebay for under $100...still waiting for a review though...damn those tires look big in that tiny wheel well... lol

awesome Murphy...thank you very much just what i need...besides more solid sheet metal cheers!!!! I owe I owe... so off I go to mow

hello all...I am looking for a (bare metal)picture of the interior support where the rear armrest is located behind but to the floor where the floor outer wheel house and interior of support pocket the rear window all meet in .....as mine is rotted out with nothing left to left imagine what was there to replace...I have just replaced the entire floor with rockers and this area is badly shot its time to fix the little stuff now...complete trunk is out till I get to Leo's thanks

today I welded up the blower and heater core holes in the firewall...hydroboost turned out very nice too

today I will be finishing the paint on my hydroboost and picking up some bondo to get rid of the pimple pocks on my firewall

just thinking if a trophy store might be able to reproduce one alot cheaper on a blank emblem I know its NOT the same but???

the m/c logo off ebay is very expensive you can find them there
