1965 Impala BBC Stocker Update

Yes, that is a brace from the cover. I just made a extension around 4 inches long from the bracket on the housing to the panhard bar connection. Worked fine. The real problem are the shocks, you might have to extend those mounting points out a little too. I maxed out what i could as far as strength for this 12 bolt rear, ran it with a stick at 4100 lbs. My friend Pat Heneberry told me years ago when he race his 68 Camaro in C/SM Modified Eliminator he would bend the 12 Bolt rear. Finally just swapped to a DANA 60 fixed that! He still races that car in NETO today with the old paint job and C/SM parts except with a Jerico and a stock 327 block ( I swear cast piston!) ran 11.0's!
