Not much of an introduction...

But welcome none the less. I hope to see you contributing to the excellence that is LS1.com in the future.

We banned all the trolls from AAG. You aren't missing anything funny anymore. Its more like an Oprah Winfrey show in there now.

Hey All,
My name Chris and I live in Garden City, Mi. I have a 1950 Chevy Styleline that is down for improvements and some major rust repair. So far I've swapped out the front drum brakes for a ECI discs. The master cylinder is getting moved up to the firewall. a GM 10 bolt out off a 79-88 G body is a perfect width to run 8" rims. Walton Fab. had my engine mounts to go from the I6 to V8 and the trans crossmember that will take any GM auto (got a turbo 350 right now). oh, and I'm married with 2 kids. 42 year old Automotive product designer.

Mod,
Sorry for being a weasel and trying to get to "10" in 5 minutes or less the other day.

Welcome to the posting side of the forum, Chris

**0rion** · 02-09-2011, 02:42 PM

got any pics of the car? Sounds like a good project car. What engine are you going to go with for it?

**pajeff02** · 02-09-2011, 07:22 PM

Welcome! +1 for some project pics, please. Also, feel free to post up a thread detailing your project in our Classic Muscle section.

I take it you swapped the king pins for IFS or you did a subframe.

FWIW, I had a 49 back in the 80's. It had the fastback roofline.

Thanks guys!
I did keep the original front crossmember, Did you know the '49-'54 Chevies have the same front suspension as the '53-'62 Corvette?
I currently have a 350, but had to go .060 overbore to clean up the cylinders and dont see it lasting too long under my right foot, so a LS swap may be in my future. I know someone sitting on a 6.0L truck motor that I'm wheeling and dealing to get cheap.
