I am looking in to buying a chevelle to restore. I like bodystyle of the 69 but crave the power of a 454. In all of my browsing I have yet to come across a 69...
Joe, The 454 didn't appear in Chevelles until 1970. The 396-454 blocks are essentially the same externally so it'd be a no-brainer swap, everything should fit...
absolutely. Externally it's the same block as the 396. I have a 454 in my '69. ... -- Check out my webpage at http://www.ProStreetCar.com and my For Sale page...

I'm sure this is probly a stupid question but what's the diffrence between a 69 chevelle SS and a 69 Malibu? Other than the fact that SS's are much more rare....
Convert to an SS. Yes trade off the parts and you got an SS. Don't forget an SS VIN also. The Malibu was the base, like buying a Mustang. Then you have the...
In 1969 the SS became an option as opposed to a separate model as it had been from 66 to 68. It was also the only year the SS option could be ordered on the...
Shane, The VIN will not prove a 69 to be a SS car; neither will the trim tag. The Z25 was only an option and only a build sheet can prove its true heritage....
Hi Chevelle Fans! I'll have to side with Dale McIntosh on that, too! The first question anyone asks me when they see my '68 SS Convertible is: "Is it...
For a 69 ss , what would be the Best drive chain setup as far as engine,tranny and rear end? I want it to be quick and have a high top speed and still be...
Wow, now that's a wide open question. If you like manual transmissions, consider the TREMEC 5sp (or even a 6sp). The 5sp has a nice deep 3.27 1st gear to get...
Most people just want to know if the car is a numbers matching original. Meaning that if they were to check , that the number on the engine block , trans, and...
Hello, I am trying to start a movement to get Goodmark to produce a steel cowl hood for 1965 Malibu's. If anybody would be interested in one, please let me...

Depending on the model, it may not have had any chrome trim. I had a '67 Nova 2 dr. sedan 4 cyl. auto that was a utility company car. It had no chrome, no...
Are you talkin about the rear window? I believe the trim is the same as the 4 door model. I may have the extra pieces here...I have striped 4 + Chevelles in...
Thanks dennis for your quick response, But it did have trim from factory , the previous owner told me he took it off and scrapped then , because they were so...
Shane , yes the rear window .It is different from hardtop. as for 4-door , I myself don't know, but makes sense if 4door is post ( I assume ) and the back...
The 4 chevelles that I stripped 1 was a 4 door. I think I have the trim here yet. Find out if the rear window is the same and I'll get under the porch and...
