Steve:
the el camino frame will work but you have to shorten it approximately 4 inches (almost 4 its actually 3 something) at the rear. A convertible frame will also work but with no mods like the el camino. you would have to use the cross member out of an el camino or convertible though.
Dang man! With a 26” tire and 4.10’s,
you must have run over 120 to be turning 6400. With a 28” tire you’d be
running over 130 at the same rpm’s.
Hope you have a roll cage.
That’s some serious speed – congrats!

Hey John
Just as a FYI for the early cars you have to cut about 2inches off of the

I wasn't implying that they didn't need as more support from below. But a

Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that convertibles need more support
from below than coupes & sedans. A full-frame convertible with a rotted
frame could suffer the same fate.

I looked at a Mustang convertible once that had so much floorboard rot that
the passenger side door was pinched shut and would no longer open. My guess
is that if it was opened, the car would have folded in half. That's why the
support from underneath is so much more important on convertibles.

Whether the frame is boxed or C-channel has nothing at all to do with how it
will fit. The person who said that is just blowing smoke.
The boxed frame is used on the El Camino because it does not have the same
amount of support from the roof as a coupe or sedan. Convertibles also got
boxed frames
