    G-body Perfromance Chassis

    I would be interested in one of these frames for a Monte Carlo, 87-88 with a narrowed rear and stiffer frame for some serious HP. But I don't want to drop a pirates chest of cash for it either.

    Strange spool question.....

    That spool will wear your tires heavily if you plan on street driving only. Really made for the track. If you have stock axles, they will also strain them. Cheaper now, MORE MONEY LATER. Save you money for the correct Posi unit.

    The Shroud is from C&R Racing. Made to fit the radiator I purchased from them. The fans are Spal, 13inch Model# VA13-AP70/LL Curved blades. Summit used to have the fans, that is where I purchased them 4 years ago.

    Over / Under drive units ? Anybody running one of these ?

    My car is stock in appearance, sort of. The cowl hood and loud exhaust hint that something nasty is under the hood. That's the way I like it. HEHEHE..... The over/under is the same unit. A new yoke is included because it is very specific to the GV unit. The drive shaft will have to be...
