Well played Sir!!!


Smart choice going with the de-coupled 3 link !! While I haven't driven a car with that setup - my new race car (Sutton Track Warrior) will have that. I'm hoping for some major mechanical grip.

Think you'll have to notch your front crossmember for the pulleys/balancer?

Most likely no. The engine is sitting lower than it will when it's actually in place.

nice work, Herb. Glad to see you're still making progress on the build. Love the Chevelle. As I said in the other thread, it's just got a great mean look to it. Good luck!

Thanks Trey! Progress has been and still is slow but if I keep at it, eventually, it'll be done!

Thanks Greg! I didn't get the de-coupled 3 link, just the offset 3 link. IIRC, Ron said I could always upgrade to the de-coupled version down the road.
