Does anyone know if a standard 454 crank/rod/piston combo will fit in a tall
deck block? I don't know for sure, but I assume because the deck height is
10.2 vs the standard 9.8, the pistons and/or rods will need to be
different. TIA

At the very least,the pistons are different. What do you have in mind
now,Herb?

Usually with more splines it has a larger shaft hence more strength!

I was at a show tonight and there was a 68 Malibu there, Grotto Blue with
the trim for a vinyl roof, but no vinyl. The fellow who owns it said that
was the way the car came from the factory. I tried to get a look at the
trim tag, but it was too dark to see I didn't have my glasses on, so I
Any vinyl topped Chevelle will have a number next to the paint code...like 1
for white or 2 for black (only two available in 68). Two-toned cars also
used the same trim. If upper or lower were originally Grotto Blue, tag
would read DC (Grotto Blue/White), DE (Grotto Blue/Fathom Blue), or ED
On tall deck truck engines, the piston has a fourth ring. Also, most of them
have gear driven timing sets from the factory. That's all I know for sure.

Also, it takes a specific intake or else you have to add shims to a short
deck intake in order for the head ports to match the intake.

Those are for a street rod or other classic that has flat glas and only

these won't work in a Chevelle.

Best aftermarket I found are universal from http://www.autoloc.com . Had a
complete set in my 67 and the worked like a charm and were very simple to
install. http://www.dalesplace.com/images/chevelle/elec_windows.jpg Part of
the unit slips over the manual regulator to 'roll' the windows up/down.
Here are the specs I got on mine (Moser) for my '66: 33 spline axle, posi,
3.55 Richman pro gears, 1350 yoke. The 33 vs. the 30 is supposed to be
stronger, though I don't know if most of us will ever need to find out. I
also added their trick rear end cover. The whole thing set me back $2500 +
I thought long about going that way. Gear changes are as simple as changing
the pumpkin out (or so I've heard)..and there is a ton of stuff out there
for them.

Dale,
The power windows, nice setup, I
like that. Did it go fast down, and slow up like the factory ones?
