    I've posted it before. From the early 60's, it was a very competitive car.

    James, I used '66 Chevelle big block w/AC front springs. Handled the weight well. Might be too much if you aren't running B/B though.

    My first car back in 1968. Tallest TRW springs I could find(I think they were for a 62 Chevy wagon HD front springs?) and a set of upper ball joint spacers. Look through this thread. You'll find a number of cars with stock A-arm front ends.

    I'm working on this one right now. Just finishing up a Vega steering box install, getting ready to replace the wooden block suspension with Moroso springs and ball joint spacers.
    Then it'll be time to rig up radiator mounts.
