My former Chevelle...

Original, OEM, factory body panels

Original, OEM, full factory interior
ALL DOT requirements fully functional...horn, wipers, parking brake, driving, braking, directional and backup lights.
All factory options fully functional...power steering, power brakes, tilt wheel, tach/gauges, radio, rear window defogger, heater/defroster.

Oh and the group 24 battery resides in the factory tray with the factory hold down, in the same location it rolled off the assemblyline

Lastly registered, licensed, insured and saw thousands, upon thousands of street miles in addition to 5000 passes on the track when my name was on the title for 27 years.

So what's your point?

Back to the op's question...


the one installed in my former Chevelle...



and some 50+ GM A body stockers, bracket cars and street/strip cars throughout the country and Canada including this "cruise nite, strip thing, sleeper"...

My point is the weebie jeebie deal doesn't have flexible bushings of any sort, correct? Just heims.
That's not a street car in my book. No thanks.

I'm no Ed fan, but I have no problems with heims on the street. A late model front wheel drive metric V6 is not my idea of a stocker either, but to some it is........Ed gets his 60s and weight confused with Joey Abbazia's.

a street car doesn't mean it's a daily driver and the only books that counts here is the OP's.

No confusion about it, Abbezia's former chevelle didn't 60 foot 1.28 and it didn't weigh 3880 lbs. but my Chevelle did!

Went a best of 1.28 60 foot launched off the footbrake at 3880 lbs. 9 years ago.

miller's stuff is no comparison to Alf's setup and miller's stuff is no different than the many bolt on suspensions out there under many names.
