I like to build my own tubs so we can be sure to get the car as far down as we want with the widest tire. Most aftermarket tubs taper in somewhat and kill you clearance. Plus we can do cool stuff with the bead roller to make them match our rear firewall. I like this Tilton reservoir because it cost like 125 bucks or something, kinda of a good bang for the buck part and it's not some cheap machined street rod looking reservoir that has 3 caps. Every company that knocks off parts has one on their site. And to buy 3 custom machined unit would cost a couple hundred for each master.

Digging the project!

G.
It seems that way, We have 4 LSA engines in the shop in 4 different projects currently. This 70 Chevelle, James Shipka's 69, a 57 nomad project, and Darrell's Project Slow Motion 67 Nova. We should have a few LS9 Engines here in the next few weeks as we are starting 2 projects with those power plants. All I can say is almost all these engines were purchased though the Performance Parts Division of Fairway Chevrolet. Brad Oaks the Parts manager will take care of you on your crate engine purchase. As our Frames sales continue to grow and sell them selves we beginning to do more and more of these kinds of projects. I kinda like the challenge. Make something cool with a pre-existing set of guide lines.
