I bought a donor 94 Z28 and want to use everything, within reason, in my 56 Belair build. I had a 94 Z and loved it, all of it. It had plenty of power for me, good fuel economy and handled like a slot car. I plan on using the Z28 stock rear end and know I will have to modify it but I have more time than money and I am going to stay around the stock HP it should hold up fine. I would like to use the front suspension but it's a strut and I can’t pull that off without spending more than it would cost to upgrade the stock 56's. So my question is does anyone know of a late model GM spindle that has anti locks I can put in my 56 and use the anti lock system from the Z28. This is a daily driver and not a show car but I still want it to look good. When I originally had my Z28 I always wanted to take off the body and replace it with a 56 2DHT body and that's what I'm aiming for. The Z has body damage but from the radiator to rear axle the drive train is unhurt and complete.
As for the rest of the Z28 parts I would like to use all the parts from the engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, rack and pinion, engine accessories and accessory drive and AC.
I will have both doors with mirrors non-power window, right front fender, right rear quarter, trunk lid with glass and tail lights left before I send the body to scrap.
All right put on your thinking caps and lets have some fun, the floor is now open for ideas, wacky or not. I've read a lot of posts here and I know someone is up for the challenge. So pretend this is your build and give me your thoughts because I know I have not thought of everything

 

Welcome to CamaroZ28.com.

You already have this posted in the tech forums, and I've attempted to respond. Generally, that's the best place to post questions and requests for help.

I can relate to your situation to some degree.... I've owned a 56 Bel Air convertible, and obviously, my current LT1. This is a scan of a Polaroid photo taken about 50 years ago.......

That's a nice 56. I will try to keep my questions centered around the Z28 side of my project. I did not know not to ask questions in the Welcome section,sorry... should have read instructions first but you know most of us guys open the box and throw the directions away first. Thanks for letting me be a part of your group.
Thanks,
Fletch
