<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Tarrytown SS427s</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Cool story. But wouldn't it have been easier to order an L72 Caprice with all that stuff installed at the factory? Also, how did you get a Chevelle axle to bolt into a Caprice frame? </div></div>

I was wondering the same (why not factory order the engine, and just install gears in a Caprice 12-bolt since the Chevelle rear won't fit a Caprice). I guess I misunderstood and the Caprice engine was pulled and installed in the '55 with a Chevelle rear?
