Rich, most I knew used the '57 Pontiac housing in the '55/'57 Chevy Street Eliminator cars. Spring perches fell right in place on the Chevy springs. Bolted right in.

To cut down on breakage, I had friends of mine that had a brake & clutch rebuilding shop build soft pressure plates for me. Helped hooking on slick tracks, and 3 speed trans life too. Remember the no "track prep" days? :-) Had to get them to rivet new fiber disks on the clutch disks every other race. Started slipping on the 2-3 shifts if run too long.
