You can go to a Spring Shop and have them M-A-D-E !, 1 or 2 inches higher . Just take your old springs with you.
This will make the car sit higher... in the rear ..but handeling may become an issue.
You shouldn`t be sraping anything...
That`s what...
thank yyou but i do run long tube headers and as it is if i have some one in the back seat every bump i hit i scrape. but thank you. and good luck with your 64 as well!
Hi Anthony. I can relate with your concern of the ground clearance of your Malibu. But I would have to agree wiyh Kingman Kid. The handling would be much better with the Small block springs and would give your malibu a much nicer stance. I myself...
the handle i described is available at autozone, online at least. Hurst t-handle Part Number:1534813 it's a 3/8-16 thread. It's brushed alum. but with polishing wheel on a bench grinder and some compound you can make it shine like crome
to answer your shit knob question, I believe hurst makes a t-handle that screws on and if I remember right yours will be metric but don't qoute me! When I went looking for one for my camaro, no one carried the correct thread pattern for it! Being resourcful though I bought the metric alum hurst t handle because it was too small, and had a buddy at a macine shop drill and tap it with the correct threads. I had to buy the correct tap because they didn't have it. If you run into the same situation I did where none of them fit your shift lever as long as you find a handle you like with a smaller diameter hole than you need you can have it bored and tapped to fit. I had my friend do this because using a hand drill I was afraid i would either go all the way through or not cut it square. Any machine shop should be able to set you up for not too much money
Hi Anthony,
Good Question.
Honestly, I prefer an aluminum radiator as they tend to disipate heat at a faster rate that the old standard brass top radiator's,
As a norm and depending on what I want to do with it, I normally buy the Aluminum 1968 Chevelle Small Block Aluminum Radiator and Fan kit from Jegs and fabricate new bracketry.
The reason is that the NEW Aluminum Radiator and Fan only costs $502.00 and it includes an Electric Fan, Aluminum Overflow Can , Aluminum Radiator and a wiring kit. All at a cost (Even Considering the Cost of 1X1 Square Tubing for Fab. Work), which is only a little more than the average cost of a Big Block Standard Radiator and the Aluminum kit allows you to free up a few free horsepower by not running a standard flex fan.
Either way will work fine for engines up to around 550 HP or so, so the only other effect would be the cash investment.
Let your Fabrication abilities and your pocket book be your guide
Hope this helps
Kingman Kid
PS...If you need it the part number for the Aluminum Radiator Kit I use most often...it is... 400-398K3
Hi Anthony,
The Cross Member is available from any wrecking yard for any "A" Body GM Car from 1965 to 1968. Pontiac Le Mans, GTO, Buick Skylarks, Chevelle, Malibu...etc... or you can do what I do and get an adjustable one from Jegs and weld it in. The 56 inch adjustable Cross Member under part number 550-40105 is a great piece and easy to install.
If you do Transmission changes or up grades in the future this piece will be adjustable to handle it.
Hi Anthony,
I am glad to have helped you. I have access to every part you may need for your Chevelle as well as sources and contact information if you need it down the road.
If you need something, let me know and I will find it for you and get you in touch with a source.
