My 1967 Malibu pro touring project

[jsrocket]

These are the first pics I'm posting. I am building a 1967 Malibu pro touring car with LS3 T56 and pushrod rear suspension. I really like the body style of the 66 67 chevelle and that is why I decided to spend the time to do this project. I'm over whelmed by how much work I have left on this car before it can be driven. I really appreciate the help I've received on the forum.

The engine that's going in my project is a Wegner motorsports 4.125 bore X 4.00 stroke resleeved LS3 block with callies rotating assembly and wegner performance heads. It has 11 to 1 compression and is projected to make 660 hp at the crank.

Assembled the front suspension components.

I put the old disc brake rotor on so I could see the car on the ground. The tire is too close to the bolt on the inner fender and there is interfearence when I drop the car down. I talked to Toben from Kore 3 today and he has a solution with one of there hub systems. He really knows his stuff and I would refer him to anyone. I downloaded one of kore 3 disc brake templates and was able to figure out which one I will order in the future.

This is going to be one nice ride.

Looks great!.... I see you are using a GTO t56, If you dont like the position of the shifter or want to save money on a new shifter, Tremec sells replacement shifter cups for the f-body t-56 (to replace the gto one)... I know for my chevelle, it worked out better and f-body shifters cost a few bucks less than replacements for GTOs. Replacing it takes about 2 minutes...just a heads up... Keep up the great work!
