    Ok I have changed my mind again on my chevy 2.. I have searched all the forums and there are a ton of info on these , Just not for a chevy 2.
    I am wondering did they make them for the chevy 2 and what would the worst part be about it? I know they all posted about taller springs , but it wouldn't matter as the spring is not between the arms as most of you know. I want to go to a sixties look now. I ordered a hood with a T bolt scoop and want to radius the rear wheel wells...
    Any info is greatly appreciated

    No they will not. Here's an idea thats worth thinking about. Now I have not worked on the Chevy 2 or Novas 62 thru 67 in a long time so this is a concept at this point. This much I do remember.
    The upper control arms attach thru the spring towers. I would see about drilling new hole 2" lower and plate it if needed. Then put taller springs in. That way the upper a-frame still has the correct angle to the spring and could be the strongest and safe way of doing it.
