Weibes chassis parts worked very well but from what I understand he’s no longer making the stuff. The Dick Miller parts work very well too. There are a few guys running the ‘70 402/375 combo that I’m sure could help you out. As for wheels, I run 15x10 with 5.5” backspace. They Center in the wheelwells near perfectly

All good info and thank you. I will research the Dick Miller parts because as you mentioned, doesn't look like there is any way to buy the Weibe kit.

I have my 1969 Chevelle in G/SA with a 396/325hp combo. I have been told it has been reduced to 316hp in the Chevelle body. Check out HR Parts and Stuff, they make a anti roll type sway bar that works great. We have the same bar on our K/SA wagon.

[QUOTE=DiMEC1;644733I originally thought that the 427 in B/SA might be a better option, but that is a no go for the NHRA because '69 SS cars were not available with a 427.

What's the problem here? If you want to run the 427, Take the SS emblems off the front and rear..Cover the holes in the fender with a decal.
Trust me, nobody cares...There's no tech..Even when there was, they very seldom looked up classification..I doubt any of the players in B/SA will care either ;-
Good luck.

Good luck.

And if you don’t want to potentially damage the paint with a decal and it’s removal then apply the decal to magnetic sheeting and trim the sheeting to fit.

I think it comes down to your budget. Starting out with a 325 hp/396 with a automatic vs. a 425 hp/427 with a stick are worlds apart in dollars. The next factor is time, getting the 325 hp down the track on a consistent basis will take a lot less testing than a 425 hp stick combo. I would like to tell you go big or stay home (lol), but I wont. The 425 hp stick combo is not for the faint of heart!! or pocketbook!

Thanks so much for all the good info guys. As I said, I'm a former Super Gas racer, so this is endeavor is worlds apart from that, and way more challenging. Hope to see some of you out there next season.

Just wondering what kind of 60' times were guys getting. I have a 69 Camaro AA/SA with the 427 combo. The Chevelles never came close to 60' foot times of the Camaro. Is 1.48 for a 325hp combo descent in G/SA?
