I'm 1st- 63 SS. Back in the day it was just like the cobaltSS is now- "it's just a nova" and not near as fast as a big block Camaro.......
Like a duster/demon/dart isn't as fast as a bb charger.
People don't realize the "it's just a" line has been going on since the 60's. And a lot of those "just a" cars have beaten a lot of bigger motor cars because they had weight on their side.

 

oh well then your in luck. we already make one for the first gen lol........ roadstershop.com

 

I ended up order a rebuilt 4.05 with LSD trans from Powell. How long does it usually take for him to build it?

 

Can you pm me what powell quoted you and what works he will do to it?
