64 Chevelle 2-Door Wagon LS-300 Project

[hotrodgary]

I recently sold my 62 Chevy II and have begun my next car.

64 Chevelle Wagon, 2 Door! Its a "300" wagon, with the "LS" engine, hence the LS-300 lol

Picked up a SUPER solid and complete unrestored car to start with, its gonna be nice to start with a solid car and not have to patch and make everything for a change! Only rust is in the front floor pans, few dings and dents but thats no biggie. I'm in the process of collection up parts now to start working on it.

So the plans are so far,
LS engine, Carburated, LQ4 short block, CNC LS3 heads, not sure of cam specs yet.
Overdrive trans, prolly a 2004R, but still have not got that yet.
Moser 9" ford, 3:90 gear
Full air ride suspension I picked up all the suspension from a guy, had less than 500 miles on it all
E3 ride pro system
strong arm front control arms
shockwaves front
hotchkis front and rear sway bars
hotckis steering arms
delphi 600 power steering box
air ride rear lower control arms and bags
hotchkis dbl adj upper arms

Planning to run 17" and 18" wheels

I want to run air conditioning on this one too
Black mountain precision front drive system on the engine

Thats where I am at so far, not sure what all is available for the LS engines since I'm new to them. Same as brakes? I need to get dropped spindles and all the brakes.

X2! Very cool project. Call Tobin at Kore3 about your brakes. He has everything you need.

Little bit of an update, pics to follow soon.

Got the front floor pans replaced (only rust on the car to patch!!)
countersunk the tail lights flush with the body
cut out the dash, in the process now of grafting in a 62-65 Chevy II dash
Got something in the works with the rear bumper...
I drew up some engine adapters and had em laser cut so now the engine/trans is set in for mock up and I got some headers

Guys at Scoggin Dickey came thru with all the goodies for me to put together a very stout 416 Stroker motor!
Should move the grocery getter down the road pretty well!

Still working on ideas to get rid of that ugly gas fill door, and something different for door handles.

I'm heading down to Goodguys Columbus to see what kinda deals I can find down there and I can start moving foward
with some of the other stuff, steering, brakes, air cond, etc.

Welcome Gary,

You gotta love those 2 door wagons...I love 'em so much I cut up my '67 4 door wagon to MAKE a 2 door wagon out of it...

I love long roofs! I've got a '64 two-door wagon we're working on in our spare time (not very much of it though), we're just torn on which direction to take it and how far to take it! Sounds like you have a good plan, look forward to seeing the updates!

Gary – Cool project! Thanks for including Hotchkis in your list. We love the wagons! What color are you going to paint it?
