    Which cam?

    I seem to remember that cam as a 20 something in the 80's as "The Sh*t". If I recall they were everywhere...

    Which cam?

    Hey, folks...I have a 61 Impala with the 230hp 283 with factory dual exhaust. It currently has the Powerglide but will be converting to an M20 Muncie. Looking for suggestions on a street cam to give me a little lope. It is currently completely stock and runs great. Just looking for a little more...

    Converting to 4 speed

    Both cars have been in "storage since November...the good one is at my inlaws farm in a lean to and the racecar is in a snowbank at a buddy's place. As I own a small business, I haven't had any time this winter to do ANYTHING to these...chomping at the bit I am. Can't wait for halfway decent...

    Converting to 4 speed

    Hey, folks...I have started to go down the 4 speed rabbit hole... I first found a Saginaw, bought it, then a week later found a deal on a Muncie with a shifter...now the Sag gets to go to a new home. Late last summer, I bought an old 61 circle track car with a 283 and a 3 speed. REALLY rough...

    4 Speed Conversion

    Hey, folks...I have recently purchased a 61 Bel Air with a 283 and a 3 speed. Old race car from way back...It has all the hardware that I need to convert my 61 4dr Impala into a 4 speed. With that said, I also purchased a 4 speed Saginaw. My question is about shifters. Is there one that works...

    Passion Polly: 61 in Erath County Texas

    Absolutely gorgeous! I just got a 61 4 door Sedan late this summer with the Power pak 283 and PG. My plans this winter are to convert to a 4 speed. Thanks for sharing your story!

    Least optioned 61 Impala?

    I stand corrected! Thank you for the info...I will be slowly restoring this as time goes on...still driving it until the snow flies!

    Least optioned 61 Impala?

    Hey, folks...I am trying to figure out if my 61 Impala is the least optioned car out there! I can't find a build sheet (although I may take the front seat out this winter). Nothing under the back seat. Here's what it has (or don't have)...230HP 283, factory dual exhaust, Powerglide, no power...

    1961 Impala tilt question

    I said on a budget, not cheap. I can wait.

    1961 Impala tilt question

    I am building on a budget...the reason for the 69 or later tilt is strictly money driven...they have a tendency to be cheaper. If I can get a 60's tilt column for $150, I'm all ears!

    1961 Impala tilt question

    I have a 61 Impala 4 door with a glide and am looking for any info on replacing the factory column with a tilt from a 69 or newer GM. I had a 61 Bel Air drag car in the 80's that someone had converted, but I was too young to understand what was used. Obviously not too concerned about keeping it...
