People,

(I'm just back from a short pause due to moving - good to be back!)

I have the opportunity to get quite a few parts from an 85 SS.

What parts would bolt on/need little modification to fit my '65? I'll be keeping the steering box as a spare

-sway bars?
-anything else from the suspension?

Thanks!

The steering box will definately work, you will need some adapter fittings made by Lee manufacturing. You might do a search for more info, this question has come up many times before.

The front spindle/brake/caliper setup is popular with vega/monza guys. Sell them on v8monza.com

Thanks. I thought theren't many parts to transfer as well...BTW, it's an '87

86/87 MCSS 200-4Rs are good units...

Forget the fittings. You might be able to swap the whole power steering pump and hoses. If the car has a Long water pump setup no problem. May have problems if you have the stock short water pump.

Front sway bar won't fit.I was given one for free from an 85 and tried it.Wouldn't clear the frame. graemlins/clonk.gif

If it has an 8.5" rear end I would be interested in buying it for my Buick.

No Monte SS came factory with a 8.5". Ok any G-body that is. But I guess it is possible someone put one in.

The car owner is keeping the engine/trans as a spare for his '88.

I'm keeping the steering set up as a spare as well.

I have no idea about the rear end, but the car needs to roll for when it's towed - I'll ask...

Brian, I'll pass your info along. Thanks.

Steve The Turo Regals and GNs came with 8.5's from the factory and some of the 442's did too. G bodies that is.

My fault. The any G-body was in reference to any G-Body Monte SS, as the early 70's SS could have the 8.5"
