We had discussed these engine before. The first was a 375 horse 396 never been cranked and the second a 385 horse 427, that had been run for about 30 minutes.

[Chevelle-list] Update: Hole in frame of '90 Caprice
I originally had mentioned that my brothers 1990 Caprice Classsic had a hole in its frame.Just thought Id let you know wuts going on. My parents decided to get rid of it. Instead they bought a van. The worst part is that it is purple. I guess your wonderin how old I am. I am 15 years old and love classic cars. My favorite is the '70 Chevelle SS 454 LS6. My brother is 17. He also loves classic cars. I really wish we could keep the caprice. Id love to be able to drive up to school in style. Instead I'll get laughed at cuz im driving a PURPLE VAN. WWW. My parents didnt even look into how much it would cost to repair the Caprice. Instead they payed $5000 for a '98 Plymoth Voyager. Im sure it would have cost less than $1000 to repair the frame, strengthen some weak spots, and rust proof it so it wont rust any more than it already has. Then we would still have $4000 to repair any other problems in the next few years.

[Chevelle-list] For Sale: Rear end, springs, posi unit
Hi guys, I will post these up on ebay in a couple of days but thought you all should have a look first: - Complete 8.2 inch 10 bolt rear-end. Posi unit and 3.55 gears. I swapped it out of my 66 for a 12 bolt, but I believe that it is orginal to a 68-69 (not sure though). FJ0402W2 stamped on housing. Measures 61 hub-face to hub-face. - New, unused front and rear matched springs. - 12-bolt posi unit. I believe that it is a 4 series carrier... it has a 1/2 flange with webbing. Perhaps somebody can verify this. Also has a new set of bearings pressed on. I will take the first reasonable offer on any of this. I will ship the springs and carrier, but not the rear-end.

There are deals on classics still. They are around but definitely not on e-bay. My dream car was out of reach 1970-72 Chevelle when I was 16. I did however get a 71 Cutlass S for $150 with a bad trans and radiator. With help from friends and about $1000 in parts I really had a looker. I sold it when I got married the first time. In 1988 I found my first 72 Chevelle for $125 in SD. About 6 months ago I found a friend a 70 2 door Malibu for $250. Time is my problem, with a growing family, grass to keep up and about 20 other honey do's my current Chevelle just sits on jack stands. 13 years of ownership I haven't driven it more than 100 miles. One thing I do know, the value will not go down. I see decent drivers under 3K that are in decent shape yet most being around the $1500 range. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 11:53 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Update: Hole in frame of '90 Caprice Your right.

RE: [Chevelle-list] 69 Chevelle Power Windows
Thanks Dale/John. Now I just have to figure out whether to replace my old regulators completely or use the autoloc kit. Matt At 03:23 PM 7/20/2004, you wrote: Matt, They do come with plastic caps that either snap into the door panel holes or snap over the regulator itself, I can't remember which. Since I had the door panels built from scratch I would have had no use for them and they'd probably be black in color. As long as you tuck the motor inside the door itself, the loop mechanism will fit behind the stock panel. If you're going to replace the door panels anyway, I've heard that replacements come with no holes at all just in case you have factory power windows so you can cut either hole. If you look here - http://www.autoloc.com/detail.lasso?itemid=pw3900 - you'll see some little, what appear to be, black caps for the regulator/panel. I see they have listed again the express up/down units again for $40. I had those on both fronts of the Chevelle and they're nice.

Saves a ton of time and work since the mechanism doesn't have to be removed from the door like the factory (or replacement in my link). I 'could' rework the factory handles and put them back and watch them spin around but then it'd wear out the door panel coverting AND somebody would try manually cranking them and break the unit. Another nice thing about the SPAL units is you can remove them easily, put the handle back on, and manually control the windows.
