    Cavalier Ideas

     



    Just got a mid 80's Chevy Cav and plan to put my 402 into it. Strictly our 1/4 miler family project. Starting with a good Jegs 12 pt. cage, what plans woukd you suggest to help get this critter to the mid to high 11's. Chassis and engine advice greatly appreciated, especially if your running a cav now. Thanks.

    Hey 53', yah , No doubt we can lighten it up and make it stiffer. I hope building this is 1/2 the fun as the last project. Check it out at the yahoo link in my signature. We are fellow stovebolters.
