Thread: '57 Chevy gasser build

Dave, you are really doing this car the justice it deserves, putting it back in gasser trim. What you are doing is saving a piece of history, thank you for doing that.

As for what I think you should do (and I have no right to spend your money, but you did ask ) I would:

1) Either a 301, 327 small block OR, a 396 / 427 big block.

2) Blower would be nice, but a cross ram with two Holleys would be very cool too, and different from a tunnel ram or 2 x 4 setup.

3) Absolutely MUST have fenderwell exit headers.

4) Glass flip front end.........just for the coolness factor.

5) Noisy rock crusher 4 speed for sure!!!

6) Ladder bars are simple. Just some 1 x 1 box tubing, with bridging struts, like the ones below.
