hey there!
As the name suggests, Ive got a 55 bel air project underway. im going for the protouring kind of deal.. ive had alot of old fast cars that are fun to drive, but wear you out at the same time! i want this guy to drive like a new car... and haul ass hahah. Im swapping an lt1/4l60e from a 95 t/a, pretty much stock, its got a ford 8.8 with 3.73 posi, full big disks, and a healthy bit of suspension mods.
Not true to protouring form, im trying to do this whole build on the cheap... well as cheap as a '55 with an lt1 can be hahah.

Ive already got a trunkload of questions and im sure ill come up with more so thanks in advance!!

welcome! sounds like a good plan. I have a 56 chevy 150 sitting in my shop waiting for a transplant. You doing a new chassis? I am looking at something with coil overs, 4 link, disc's, etc. If i do swap in a Fuel Injected motor it will probally not be a LTx (sorry all). One of them to work on is enough!
