105 Mad should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Hi Al, I thought I might hear from you soon.

Peter. Chevy or Plymouth, either really, is all about cubic inches, the more the better.

The Malibu/Chevellle is favourite as it has coils all round, 327, Muncie 4 speed etc. Engine, box etc is lifted pretty much from the period Corvettes so is well sorted.

Also, the Chevy has got to be cheaper to build than anything with a Chrysler badge.

I think the biggest issue with either Chevy's is that they only had drum brakes fitted to the front at that age, can't even find any evidence of discs being available as a dealer option. The Barracuda had discs fitted as a dealer option. Funnily enough they were the same 'Kelsey Hayes' units fitted to the Mustangs.

So before going mad & buying such a beast I need to know if they were homologated with discs?

You see my predicament?

If it proves too difficult I'll stick to the Alfa.

Paul
