HT vs Conv. Chassis
Over the years I have built several street 600/700hp engines with little modifications to the 68-70 A body chassis. I've heard that convertible chassis of the same years may require a lot of modifications to handle the same power/ torque level. I'm presently building a 455 that should be about 485-500hp and a little more in torque. I'd like to put this engine in either a convertible 69-70 A body or convertible 69F body. Other than body and suspension bushings, what other chassis strengthening will be required?
