455 into 75-79 skylark

Are you saying all Apollo V-8 cars had 8.5" rears? That sure would simplify things, just have to swap in a posi carrier with some mid three gears.
Gotta be cheaper than trying to locate a 12-bolt,or a camaro rear.:TU:

 

Hi Al

The Apollo should have the 8.5 rear, thats not to say the odd 7.5 made its way into some V8 cars. a 12 bolt from a 67-69 camaro would also fit.

When I first bought my car, I was talking to a fellow who had put a 12 bolt from a chevelle in his skylark.

the diff from the camaro had no modifications it is a direct bolt in.

 

i am unsure of what issue car craft it is but i will find so i will keep you guys posted and i have a nova 10 bolt posi in mine

all the local yards that have these cars still are either rotted or bent worse than mine ans as for the pics i like everything but the scoop im not a big fan of them i think putting 2 gsx hood scoops in the stock hood would make it look meanbut thats only my opinion and im glad to see im not the only person interested in this style car

correction on the diff, The pirches will need to be relocated in toward the the carrier. so you will need to cut them and relocate themou:

 

ok enough of the teases they have been deleted and now on with the show! This ones for you kerry!

 

another you say! This is the setup of the rear sump setup! I like this setup!:TU:

 

ok another, This is the clearence between the booster and valve cover. pretty tight huh!

 

and last but not least Miss stage2 herself!

 

And what a show!! Thanks for all your work to get us neophytes pictures. Hope to have my stage 1 done by spring, and you guys have helped take much of the worry out of it. Here's to Going Fast With Class!

That is one wicked lark. thanks for the great effort, in getting us some great shots.

Now for the pita question. do you think at a later date, you could snap off a pic of the motor mounts, and bottom pulley. for a clearence reference?

Thanks
Paul

 

onother nise added touch for the 75-79 skylarks is a blacked out grille it gives it a better meaner look

Works for me, but you should do the headlight trim ring also.

Paul

 

i like it all chrome except the grille that should be flat black and the 5 mph bumper fillers should be body color pre 1977
