Sorry I've been MIA for awhile.
We aren't using transmission lines, we're currently running a T-56.
Stock radiator so far, yes.
The 605 box is from CPP. We had to shim it all up etc, but it fits nice.
We're running a Moser 9 inch rear end, 3.90 gears and a Tru-Trac posi unit. Not sure if the stocker will hold up, depends what you're looking to do. I used the 9" because I had most all the parts laying around other than axles and a housing.

nice build on the car so far. had the same prob. with the headers on my 63 ended up using the stock camaro manifolds the worked just fine. the x frame just blows in this way and many more ways. had to ad a perimeter frame on mine to stiffen it up a bit.trying to figure out how to start up a trread and resize picts.have more build picts on my website if this will help.

Here's the info right from a MagnaFlow rep on the system, we're all hoping it fits as described!

Damn ,sure loks sharp. Why did you have to shim the 605 box? I have one in my 62 Biscayne and it fit pretty good. My problem was witth the rad to steering box. The rib on the steering box hit the rad so I had to grind it down abit to give me a 1/4 " clearance between the two.

Thanks guys!
We had to shim the box because when we had the Camaro accessory setup on it at one time.
That's a Ron Davis Radiator and fan setup, with their overflow. They have it setup for this conversion, it's a new part number they just released.

Hey Brad, Jim. This is Bruce in Pleasanton with the '62 Impala SS I had for sale. Your car looks great! Was wondering if you ever thought of running rack and pinion steering? I saw a kit for it a while back on e-bay but wasn't impressed with it. Hope to get up to your place this weekend, time allowing. I'd like to check it out.
