Going to be running full roller rockers so will need taller then stock to clear everything. I don't remember this being a problem on chevelles like it w...

Bought another Malibu...
(Preview)
This one is for my son. 2006 with 56,000 miles from CA. Rear damage that I pulled/pushed most of out today. I have a replacement trunk lid, in color, that needs some rust treatment before I put it on. I LOVE southern cars...loosen a fastener with a wrench and then spin it off with your fingers. Getting it h...

I have had other people help or give me things...

Stolen cars on the news

Last evening, channel 5 had a short about all the cars stolen during the SMN event. They had taped interviews with some of the owners. They mentioned 1 car being found in MPLS, which we know to be Darren's. Nothing of the other 8 has been found. Just found this on their web page... http://kstp.com/news/...

WIW 8.2" 10 bolt 3.36 with posi?
(Preview)
Found an 8.2" Eaton posi 3.36 gear rear axle from a '69 Chevelle about an hour from me, and wondering WIW? The seller posted it at $475, but I've got him down to $375, which I think is reasonable since a new posi is $500+ these days. It does need backing plates and brakes, but I'd probably due a rear disc con...

Tires... Recommendations?
(Preview)
Time for "Blackie" to get a new set of shoes. (I'm never going to wear out the Blizzaks on him now, and I'd like to take benefit of the suspension upgrades I've done) Looking for a decent performance street tire, they don't have to be super-sticky, but a good blend of stick and wear. Ideas?

New part for the Chevelle
(Preview)
I have always thought this intake setup was the coolest thing back in the day. Granted this the Edelbrock copy of the GM design but also not near as expensive as a GM version. Not the best for street driving either but I think the cool factor will make it all worth while. Plan is to install this on the chevel...

If you missed today's meeting, you missed another great event. I'll tell and show all the juicy details in the upcoming newsletter, but we met a MASTER of his craft today. I don't think anyone who was there today could argue against that statement. It was difficult to absorb the layout and listen to him...

Control Arm Bushings

Has anyone found a good source for control arm bushings? I'm looking for uppers, lowers, front and back packaged in a kit. Not going auto-crossing, just want something for a stable ride. I've reached the saturation point, the more I look the more brain dead I go.

Frames
(Preview)
Did the frames change with the different generation Chevelle's? Or, are the frames 64-67 then 69-99 then 70-72? Reason for the question. Will a 69 Chevelle go on a 65 'A' body frame?
