Default 1962 vette project
Here is my 62 Vette.was building it with a 355 gen 1 engine but that has made way for a5.3 lm7 gen3 block with gen4 crank rods&flat top Pistons which should put comp around 9.1 so may mill the 317 heads to get around 9.5 to go with the.P1sc procharger I have.plan to top it off with an ls6 intake and possibly Holley HP efi system the rest of the drivetrain will be a built th400 going to a new 9"ford with 3.50.1 Detroit locker on a 4 link running on a 275 drag radial

Cool. Don't see too many heavily modded old Vettes'. 62 was obviously a very unique year too.

Very nice build going on here. I am thinking about doing a similar 4-link to my 59 C1. How long are your top 4 link bars center to center aprox. (if I may ask)?
