Thanks to the members here I am getting closer by the day to getting the '63 the transplants she so desperately needs. 409 rotating assembly, Jason (1961BelAir427) manual transmission parts for swap, Paul (pvs409) and Dave (Iowa 409 Guy) the dual quads and intake. Anyhoo, I digress. I am looking to get about 450 HP out of the W when all said and done and if a person would get a little carried away banging gears will the frame and body mounts take the twist? Without the additional stiffness provided by the solid roof will I need to beef up the frame? I searched the forum but didn't find anything that really addressed my question.
Hopefully I can sing along with the Beach Boys by fall or worst case early spring......
