I am almost finished with my 71B V-8 conversion. I used a 350 chevy with tuned
port injection, T-5 tramsmission, 82 corvette rear suspension, 90 corvette front
suspension, and built a custon frame. the corvette suspension also gave me 4
wheel disk brakes. and the tuned port injection will fit under the stock hood.
here are the prices for major parts:
engine $400 in parts and machine work. still must buy the heads $900
trans Free ( Donation from my dad when he changed his 93 camaro to
an automatic after 150 miles )
rear suspension $500 complete wheel to wheel
front suspension $75 Without Brakes
fuel injection $150
steel for frame $100
and lots of labor
