1965 Corvette Stocker build Q's

rboyle · 04-02-2021, 08:49 PM

Is the 327/300 hp combo good? Does anyone make a good carb for this setup?
Who makes a 12 bolt rear setup for the Corvette IRS rear?
Just investigating at this moment. Any and all advice is appreciated on this combo/car set up.
Thanks.

Mark Markow did mine for my 74 vette. It's a work of art. It would hook in the water box. BP

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.

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.

If it came with a powerglide can you change it to a 3 speed automatic? I heard mixed answers on this.

Hammerhead IRS makes a Corvette IRS that can handle more than what a Stocker can put out.
