    VPB Dual Mount Rear Spring

    I am using a VBP dual mount rear spring on my 65. For some reason I can't seem to get the rear ride height up where I want it. As I tighten the spring end bolts it just seems to bend the spring. VBP says get a stiffer spring but when I put the current spring on the stiffest setting the car rides...

    Dual mount Front and Rear Springs and Sway Bars

    What sway bars do you all recommend with front and rear dual mount springs on a SB 65. I'm currently running a VBP front bar 1.125 and no rear bar. 17X8 255/50 front and 17X9 275X50 rear. Shortened 460 ft coils and 300# rear spring. The VBP full kit comes with both bars but my experience is the...

    Halfshaft Length

    I need to pull the rear wheels in a little to help with fender clearance for the tires. The tire sidewalls rub the fenders on suspension compression. I added 3" shafts from Fort Wayne C&D the same time I added the wider wheels. Are there stub axles or u-joint flanges that will shorten the...

    Aluminum Tie Rod Sleeves

    Are "swedged end" better/stronger than "straight end" sleeves? Can they be used for rear strut rods? http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Swedged-6061-Aluminum-Radius-Rod-for-5-8-Inch-Heim,2130.html http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Aluminum-Tie-Rod-Sleeve-5-8-Inch,2087.html Thanks Tom

    Another Steeroids Question

    I have a Steeroids set up on the 65. I like it but the steering is a little quicker than I than I would like. Right now it is 2 1/2 turns lock to lock. My undretsanding they use a "sport" rack. Anyone running a standard rack with 2 3/4-3 turns lock to lock? Impressions?

    Steeroids Over Assisted

    I put a Steeroids R&P set up on the 65 a couple years ago. Overall I like the set up except it always felt over assisted. The car was even a little twitchy at hwy speeds. I reduced the pump pressure with a shim kit and that seemed to help. Yesterday I installed a 2 gpm flow valve from Speedway...

    Six Link Rear Suspension

    I know Drag Vette has a really nice six link set up for C2& C3. But, I saw somewhere someone made their own set up without the safety hoops and cool finish. This person used shortened stock strut rods for the upper links. It wasn't fancy but looked like it would work. I can't remember where I...

    Intake design

    What was the advantage of the stock gm aluminum intake design with the three hole plenum? No one uses it anymore. Is the two hole better? Winters 441 intake, 65/66 350/365 hp engine. Edelbrock Performer RPM. Other manufacturers the same design.

    Please forgive my poor mannners.

    I guess I should introduce myself. I lurked for a little while and then just jumped in and asked some questions. Please forgive my poor manners in not introducing myself first. I live in Maryland and bought the 65 about 6 years ago. I always had bikes in the past and still have a couple. I...

    Wiring Recomendations

    The 65 needs new wiring harnesses and fuse panel. I want to upgrade to a more modern fuse panel with blade type fuses. Anyone done this? Any recommendations on manufacturers? How many circuits? Thanks

    Wider in the back?

    I want to change the wheels/tires on the 65 and I am looking for some info. I have VBP suspension, Steeroids R&P, Richmond 5 spd, SB. I am going to 17" to get some more modern rubber. I like the look of wider wheels/tires on the rear but how does that affect handling? The car is driver and do...

    Intake Manifold Recomendations

    Newbie to VetteMod. Just the kind of site I was looking for. I am a member of a few others as well but the tech stuff is most interesting to me and that would be modified. I was wondering which intake you all prefer. Edelbrock RPM or Weiand Stealth? Why? This is for a 350/350 in a 65. MSD dist...
