[Chevelle-List] building up a 70

[David Hovanessian]

I have got a 70 Chevelle with a 350 and a turbo 350 tranny.  I am about to get a job so I can start building my baby into a mean chevy.  I am tired of hearing all my fellow classmates talk about their damn hondas and how fast they are.  Well anyways I am wanting to put a big block into it like a 454 or something like that.  If I do that I am also going to replace the tranny with a 400 turbo and probably the rearend.  I am in auto service at tech school and we just took apart an engine and rebuilt it.  I do feel pretty comfortable with that part of the rebuild.  I was just going to ask how hard is it to put in a 12 bolt rear end.  What I mean what all is involved in it and what special tools are needed.  I am also wondering about the suspension and the other things involved.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  I am planning on getting the motor out of a junkyard so I will have some money left over to build it up to where nothing can touch me.  Would this be a good approach or would buying a block and crap be better.  Please tell me your opionons and where I should go on the net to find my stuff that I should look into buying.                      Thank you for reading this                                  Dave P.S. I am only 16 so I will have to save as much money as I can and go with the most important stuff before anything else. Get more from the Web. FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com
