    Hi there! I'm just getting around to tearing apart my '51 Chevy. This is my first big project so I've got alot of questions. Right now I'm focusing on the frame work and suspension. In the meantime, what would you guys recommend for a small block 350... carb? or fuel injection? Thanks in advance for your input!

    Welcome from Texas....
     
  12. Welcome from Trinidad. 350/5speed would do it. 25 yrs ago my brother put a 327/4spd in a 54 Belair, put 2" risers in the front end and a set of 58 Chey fender well headers, it run sweet. Not bad for a Ford guy.

    Hello and welcome from Ft. Collins. I bet that thing would move pretty good with a mild chebby 350 (smaller 4bbl carb, dual plane intake, headers and the proper cam).
