What all do I need? Is there a complete conversion kit that will come with everything? (in reply to C3 Starship) Post #: 11

That's everthing you'll need for a complete conversion. The system bolts right in, with no mods required. _____________________________ 1980 L-82 Fastback (forward too) Mono composite front and rear.

It says I'll need to drill four new holes for it. Is this something that's going to be pretty hard to screw up? I tend to not like drilling holes in the vette if possible.

The drilling sounds like a simple operation. The kit in my '80 didn't require drilling, unless my helper did it and didn't tell me. He actually did most of the instal and let me help. Tomorrow, I'll go out and take a look to see if I can give ya any pointers. _____________________________ 1980 L-82 Fastback (forward too) Mono composite front and rear.

The '63 thru '79 setup must be just a little different. The only points where you might have to drill, is in the differential crossmember, and is easy enough to get to. It would be for the "spring responce setting blocks". _____________________________ 1980 L-82 Fastback (forward too) Mono composite front and rear.
