I came up with a nutty idea for my 63 Special (Y-body, before the Corvette was one) to adapt the suspension in terms of mounting points and the like to A-body stuff. Essentially I'm thinking of cutting the front control arms from the front frame rails and putting in the same kind of mounting points for a later 64-72 A-body in. Width would be no concern, I'd run body flares to compensate for anything and I want a sort of widebody anyway. The same sort of idea for the rear: adapt an 8.8" rear with new tabs and such for trailing arms and shock mounts and such and leave it wide with flares. Id this ridiculously far-fetched or is it feasible? I know it'll require fabrication but it shouldn't be a huge deal. My dream would be able to buy something like a Hotchkis TVS kit for an A-body and be able to just bolt it into my car after adaption everything. I basically got the idea from builds where people do things like adapt a complete Challenger SRT8 chassis into an old Roadrunner and the like. Is this too far out there or could it be done?
I did it this way. Custom fabbed 3 link S-10 blazer disc rear and a disc conversion from CCP in front. QA-1 coilovers in back.
