Gonna need some ideas for this one

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: markinnaples</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I vote for the 70's standards: Higher stance, wide Cragars on the rear (N50's) and slightly wider than stock Cragars on the front, some panel paint done with either paint or a vinyl wrap for ease of removal if you'd like, a pedestal spoiler on the rear ala a Judge, loud exhaust, etc. I guarantee people will look at it and love it everywhere you go. </div></div>

I wasn't alive then, so what I'm gonna say has more to do with my 1980s paradigm:

If I see a LeMans, etc. dressed up like that, I think it's clapped-out. Perhaps for a GTO it would work for my eyes, but a T-37 should use more subtle mods. I guess the spoiler is throwing me off, as the rest sounds fine.

One wheel that I've always liked was offered by Oldsmobile for their big cars but also offered by a company (Motor Wheel?) and called it the &quot;Exciter&quot; I think? They're polycast like Honeycombs.

Appearance mods will be very mild: monochrome paint, ladder bars, tow tabs and wheels. Spoiler is definitely out of the question. lol

Pretty sure I have the wheel selection narrowed down to the Appliance Dia-Mag.



442W30: Exciter wheel looks kind of bland to me?

69VN: I'm kinda digging those Cragar GT's. I'll strongly consider those if I decide to paint the car black.

Markinnaples: are there any drawbacks for cruising with 50's in the rear besides road feel? I remember a few hairy experiences driving the Chevelle pictured above in the rain. Then again it didn't have power steering/brakes...

Doubt I'll do graphics or a spoiler, though a duck tail might look OK.

There's got to be a nice shot of a car like yours with these beauties. I'll go looking for it later!

pxtx I have a 1970-1972 Pontiac A Body blog with over 1,000 pics and I don't recall seeing any with those exact wheels?

Just a thought.....but would I be a horrible person for dropping a rectangle port Chevy BB in this? I keep picturing it with a tarantula manifold and a canted Holley 850

Too bad the tunnel ram below is 1 of a kind

Pontiac purist will have a fit. I have a crate L88 with a dominator in my 1964 Grand Prix

Cragars and smoothies for wheels with hurst pie crust cheater slicks.

ChevyandPontiac: that thing is awesome!

They can't too mad since most (all?) Canadian 70-72 Lemans/T37 came with Chevy mills.

Chevy BB swap seems fairly painless

Chevelle frame mounts
Chevy bolt pattern tranny
Possible driveshaft yoke change (not sure with the BOP TH350)
Chevelle battery tray/relocate battery to the passenger side
Modify alternator wiring harness for alternator side switch

It is easier than you think. You can use your trans, speedway makes an adapter for $35. Then you just use bbc headers for a chevelle.

Here's a pic of the chevy set up in the last 68 Firebird I bought. .060 over 12 to 1 402, solid cam and it was a beast. I bought it for the body when I was in my Pontiac period and it eventually went back to ALL Pontiac after the state said they wouldn't register it that way. How about a RA III engine?
