Oh, Verne! That picture is deceiving! That little chain would not have worked to pull even a small block!



We used some decent size chain, then we doubled up with the small chain to be extra safe (not shown in this picture). Maybe we were fooling ourselves...

Wheeeeeeeew! Now I can relax!

By the way, I vote for white Hookers and M/Ts (exactly what I had on my 396 in '69-------in a '62 Chev)
And I agree with Frank on the wheels. Something "period" but not another set of TTs.

Sam, As my 69 CLONE didnt come with the smog parts, I chose to use Hooker Competition(NOT Super Comp) Headers. I bought New from company on EBAY that does Ceramic coating and sells as a package.....I know NOT period correct VHT paint, but much better quality and wont tarnish or rust.....Chuck

I like the look of those daisy wheels. My '70 has a bit of that "sleeper" look which is more my style anyway, so I have mixed feelings on the yellow Lakewoods. I think they look cool with the polished aluminum slots and that "jacked-up rear" look, but I would probably go with black for the low-key look. I'll be leaving my ride height stock, and seeing how big a tire I can stuff in.

How do you suppose they got all that height in the rear wheel wells? Air shocks? There were air shocks in my 65 Chevelle when I got it, both sharing a supply line. You could push one side of the rear down and the other side went up..
