can anyone tell me were I can get info on
putting a full chassis and rollcage in my 61

swap to a sbc. thanks.

Just use a search engine and I'm sure you'll come up with something.

Here's one:

Get this book as well if you can...
Metal Fabricators Handbook by Ron & Sue Fournier.
It has info on how to make a roll cage, chassis, making your own fuel cell, floor panels, making your own metal working handtools instead of buying them and much more. Pretty darn good book and I haven't even read half of it yet and learned a lot so far.

Here is a bit of info from the book too. The guy that did the book said that if someone wanted to build a roll cage too then first you need to ask these questions and give the info to them...
Is the car for racing?
If so, then what class or what sanctioning body?
If you plan to race then you need to look at the rule book and see what the requirements are too.

Here are some measurements you can take and maybe someone smart on this subject here can help you.
Measure: Distance from floor to roof; length of the drivers compartment; width of the drivers compartment. From those measurments is where you will base everything else off of. Now this I learned from this book and some metal fab site somewhere that I will try to find.

I am hoping this is going to help because I know you asked for info on putting a chassis and roll cage on your car so didn't know if your doing it yourself or going to go somewhere to have it done.

thanks fmxhellraiser IM going to see about
that book.

No problem. Hope everything works out for ya.

You can build a rollcage from specs and photos in the NHRA Rulebook that will allow the cage to be certified down to 8.50 e.t.
If you plan to go faster than that, you'll need to contact Sema Foundation, Inc. and buy their plans that fit what you'll be doing with the car. Here's the Rulebook for $10.00.....

Here's a paper I wrote on installing a rollbar to get you started....
