62 Chevy II AF/X

[silver_bullet]

agreed!

the Chevy II is designed to not have anything modern like a GV overdrive. It's not getting one, as long as I own the car. That's not what this car is about. Sorry.

Ah, but will we ever get a video with the Dead Milkmen playing in the background?

I think I can hear the GV saying "Suburban... Suburban..."

No need to apologize. I was thinking physical / constructability constraints and not vision / design constraints.

yeah, if you wanted to ruin the car, you could cut open the floor, etc. I already spent a month building the floor to fit a TH400 because that's the transmission the car needs (ok, it really needs a 4 speed, but I can't afford to go that route).

Save gas on something else. I agree the Chevy needs to retain the look you achieved.

When you want to save on gas, drive something else in the fleet!

[squirrel]

That's what I usually do. But since I'm not racing it often, swapping the rear gears for a few months is a good way to save gas, and make it more friendly to drive around and have fun with.

I still have no idea what kind of gas mileage the Chevelle gets. Whenever people ask, I say $20... because I put $20 in it every time I take it out.

4L80E??

[squirrel]

nope....Th400.... 1966 technology all the way

[Scott Liggett]

Plus a 4L80 is even bigger. More floor work.

[squirrel]

yup. And weight. And that yucky electronics...
