Hi, I'm hot rodding again after a 40 year interlude - I was a go-fer in our neighborhood small-block Chevy gang, until everyone got shipped off to 'Nam, and I got into dirt bikes and VWs. Grumpy Jenkins and his Chevy II was my favorite Stocker during the 60's, and I fell in love with the '67 Nova body style. Fast forward through the river of time, my kids out of the house and it's time for me...
I found a 1967 Chevy II 2-dr sedan roller in the far north of the State a couple of years ago that has pretty solid bones, and am nearly done with the body work, and am starting on my suspension and powertrain.
I'll be replacing the stock suspension with a Church Boys R&P and 4-link, Narrowing a 10-bolt posi with 3.73s and using ford ends, and am about to pull the trigger on a CPT 200R4, hoping that Art Carr is still producing trannies that hold up the tradition.... I remember him from the Hot-Rod mags in the old days!
I have a 350 from a 97 Z71 pickup that I am about to start on, and got a pair of summit vortec heads that I am getting ready to clean up, which is how I stumbled onto this site - a great sticky on porting! I'm hoping to bounce plans off of y'all as I select my components - back in 1969, we kind of just tried stuff and kept the stuff that worked or looked really good, and I'm amazed at how these social networks and the amount of info at a fingertip has changed the hobby! Thanks for the great site!
