Metric stub mods
Any chassis builders still building mods on a metric stub?
-
-
Personally, I prefer metric clips. The Ford Crown Vic clip is also another good clip.
-
Mark Bush Race Cars are metric.... We have done some chevelle clip conversions on existing chassis too, only a few as of date
-
A-24 what is your thoughts on why you prefer the metric?
-
Spring cup location and the ability to use a lower control arm (similar to a nova) that creates a motion ratio that is close to 1:1. Keeps the car good and stable.
-
Can someone define the different clips for me. Like Metric, Big Metric, Small Metric
-
metric: 79 and up Malibu, Monte Carlo, Regal, grand prix, cutlass
big metric: late 70's smaller bodied Impala, Pontiac Parisianne. delta 88
I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.

So does Chevelle and Camaro stand alone?

Camaros are unibody......no frame rails in the middle. The body was tied into the frame front and rear.
But.......Howe used to sell frame rails just for that reason..He was one of the first to re-design the Camaro clip for racing purposes.
-
I meant in a general categorical sense where they classified it because I know some street stock classes use them. That answered my question though thanks!
-
There are multiple chevelle clips. 64-68, 68-72, 73-77 that i know of.

If you find a camaro clip I'll buy it,would be rare and worth alot of money.

I take it the MBR number 18 might not hit the track for a while?

No doubt! They are getting hard to find. Im waiting for the foreign invasion of those , too!

Metric question. Metric clip, spindles and lowers. Do you guys run your metric clip ride heights lower than say chevelle clips? 1/3 mile semi banked always always always dry slick. How about shocks? I know metrics are a different animal than chevelles so I was wondering how much of the info translates from one clip to another.

8" from center of RF lower control arm bolt to ground will get you close and 7 3/4 or just start level on the lowers.
