    Im putting together a 57 with a blown hemi also got any pics.
     
  3. The Aluminum
    Corvair box was very popular. I believe the vega is the same but made of
    cast Iron and no exterior ribs. I'll take some pics.
     
  4. I think the Corvair box was reversed for these type installs. I think Speedway sells em reversed already. If not, someone out there does. I've seen em recently

    is it a straight axle car? if so you can cross steer from the front with a vega or a 525 box we did a 57 axle car with an injected 392 worked well....

  6. dude. more pics! build info? please! looking to do something similar with my 57
     
  7. Our '56 is very similar, Pitman arm points towards the front of the car, has a 1'' spacer down to the drag link (which keeps it near parallel with the axle). The drag link goes to the right
    spindle first and then back to the left spindle. This keeps them closer in
    length (than going left short to right long) and cuts way down on "torque
    steer"
