Re: 1965 Corvette Stocker build Q's
If I was building one, I think I would go with 66-67 Holley vs the 65 AFB. The HP factor is 5 less with automatic transmission. The quick fuel carb is pretty good. The secondary throttle plates are a little larger in the AFB, but is lacking elsewhere. Just something else you might want to investigate before hand.
I think Stephen Belanger has run the AFB some on his Chevy II. Ernie Neal SS 354 Last edited by Ernie Neal; 04-02-2021 at 10:25 PM. Reason: correction on factors |

Re: 1965 Corvette Stocker build Q's
Why use an IRS rear, if you can run a solid axle? Seems as though the solid axle would be more efficient and weigh less with fewer parts to break. Also, would save a lot of money.
I'm wondering if there is a bolt in solid axle available. That way you could save the stock IRS for later. Seems like I've seen an A/S or B/S with a solid. Hard to imagine a 700 HP motor not destroying almost any IRS. Loren |

Re: 1965 Corvette Stocker build Q's
If it came with a powerglide can you change it to a 3 speed automatic? I heard mixed answers on this.

Re: 1965 Corvette Stocker build Q's
If you are going to change to a 3 speed you need to be careful which tranny you choose the tunnels in that series Vette is not real big and accommodating to large case trannies.. oops, Transmissions...

Re: 1965 Corvette Stocker build Q's
I guess I should have said the car was built around a Powerglide, not a turbo 400.
I forgot it is not PC to use Trannie.. LOL
