Re: [Chevelle-List] building up a 70
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List First of all i am located in Madison, MS. The body is rough. Nothing can be used off it but it could be restored just requires a lot more money than i am willing to spend. It does have all the glass and window mechanisms though it excellent shape. The frame is good besides a slightly enlarged area around the front left body mount and that bar the goes along the very back of the frame is slightly pulled down on the bottom part like someone tried to pull it from there but is easily fixed. The dash is good and no not an SS. I do have a near perfect front bumper and SS rear bumper with pad that i listed for sale on chevelles.com. The driver side mirror is aight and it has the licences plate holder and all front clip besides hood. But i am not sure if i would use any of the interior if anyone has something they need i can sure look and reply with its condition but i still have everything i took out of it. Let me know if you have any other questions.

RE: [Chevelle-List] building up a 70
Hey Dave - Sorry this is so long - Ahh, those pesky Hondas...They get quite annoyed when ya wear em out with 30 year old fat block technology. I'm building a 70 as well. OK, Bolting in a 12 bolt rear is as easy as unbolting the stocker, and sliding the 12 Bolt in it's place. You may want to consider new controll arm bushings at this point, more so consider rebuilding \ replacingthe brakes, wheel cylinders, rear lines at this point. Stock components will suffice. You can also box the lower control arms or replace with SSM or Hotchkis componentsand add a sway barSpeed \ acceleration is fun, but you gotta stop the car at some point. The only words of advice on the motor that I can give you is that Big Blocks make huge horsepower, but also cost quite a bit more than the durable and trusted mouse motors. Check out Speed-O-Motive. The sell a ton of stroker kits fairly cheap (I believe entry 383 kit is $500, crank, pistons, rods, gaskets, rings bearings, etc,etc) to turn your 350 into a 500HP 383\391 CID Combo. SuperCharging is another option - -I've done it with big cubes, Blowers, stokers, etc...There is no substitute for Cubic Inches, other than large supercharged cubic inches. The bottom line is your budget. Your 350 is a good place to start (and cheap since you have it - but definately look arounnd and pick your parts carefully), A set of small cc'd heads, a ton of cam, a whole lot of converter, a bunch of gear, a 750 cfm carb, headers and duals, and a big NOS system would have ya eating Hondas for lunch Keep your eyes on Chevelle.net in the parts, there's usually a 12 bolt or two in there...That's how I got mine.
