Small Block Chevy 327 cu in engine with big car Saginaw coupled to a Corvette C-6 posi differential.
This is a build I’ve been wanting to do for over 40 years. I bought a Crown project and decided to go different route. I built a custom frame for the car borrowing some of the Crown design. I have built a stout small journal 327 for it. I’ve modified a Saginaw 4 speed for it with the help from Red Dragon automotive. I’ve currently have it coupled to a C-6 Corvette differential. I have all the mounts on frame at this time but need to remove frame from car for final welding. My plan is to prime, paint and assemble the frame with drive train. Once that is done I plan on installing completed assembly from the bottom. Cross your fingers for me please. Will post up dates when possible.

Disc brakes all the way around. Clark’s front conversion and 05 Vette 12” rear brakes. I’m running 17x9.5 wheels on back and 17x8 up front. Front mounted radiator. Dual Vette manual brake master cylinder. Planning on electric power steering. Gonna attempt to install a unit out of a Chevy Equinox.
