Neither are poly bushings on a 4-link

Troy put 18's and 22's on Bisquick and Chicayne.

You could go 19's on the front.but 18's will look fine.Just look at Chicayne,and I am pretty sure the 66 Troy did has 20's and 22's.

Air ride has come along way I used to be one of those "air ride won't handle" guys,but this summer changed my opinion.see the autocross by Air ride at some of the Goodguys changed my mind,and the Airride cars were faster than most the coil over cars.

A 66 b-body will never be a great track car.

The 66 had 20s front and rear and Chicayne and Bisquick have 19s up front

Here's 18's and 22's on a 66 Caprice.

No offense to Travis but that pic kinda makes my case. The rear wells are stuffed and the front wheels aren't even big enough to tuck and it has too much rake for me. But opinions are like............

Why not? A B-body 2dr sedan is about the same weight as a 2dr hardtop Chevelle, and balanced better (all the extra weight is in the rear).

The only downside to building a B-body is the lack of aftermarket handling parts.

I have been thinking about my statement,wont chevelle parts work I thought they were kinda close to the same.

No, Chevelle chassis parts won't interchange. Everything is different.

The only "common" parts with an Impala, is that any rear disc setup that fits a Camaro/Nova/Chevelle, will also fit a B-body, and a Chevelle rear sway-bar will fit. Other than that, I'm not aware of any parts that interchange.
