    What is the real answer for a 12 bolt swap???

    You need the arm swap kit, i didn't need to move my shock bracket or spring perches. I did however upgrade the driveshaft, and a different u-joint is needed. And you will need a different backspace for your rims. My 12 bolt is out of a 67 chevelle. U-joint # Moog 372

    Edelbrock 750 vs. Holly 750 supercharger carb

    I run a B&M 162 supercharger and with these their is no need for a supercharger carb per say, they recommend a boost reference carb but these don't produce enough boost to warrant it. I use a 750 speed demon and this thing works great. Just grab a double pump holley or a demon and scrap that...
