New Guy - First Project....Nova + ZR1

[Ron in SoCal]

Hiya Bud. Welcome to

First off congrats on your business success and also doing right by your Dad. So very cool! Now onto your project. There are lots of issues in putting ZR1 under your ride. First of which is even finding a rolling chassis. They're new so probably limited inventory out there, but you might get lucky. FYI, there is a pretty new Grand Sport Chasis for sale here and the seller's a good friend so no transaction worries. Next there are lots of packaging issues in using C6 anything under your car starting with physical dimensions such as wheelbase, track width, ride heigth, rack placement, engine location and so on. It can and has been done! There's a guy in Georgia on this site 'Real Bob Johnson' that did it himself w a Z06 under a 69 Camaro. Also, Roger @ Ironworks is pretty well versed in dimensional pacement w two in his shop right now.

Other options include a company - the name escapes me but I saw them at SEMA last year - that has a C4 rolling chasis set up (they use a 66 Chevelle as their shop car I believe) and also Newman's in Central Cali that specializes in C4 chassis under almost anything as well. Lastly, the Roadster shop has a c6 based IFS and their own design IRS that works very well. You could take any of these options and drop a LS9/LSA into your ride.

Good luck Bro! PM me if you want to chat about it and make sure you start a build thread.
