I'm looking for info on putting an '81 Camaro front clip under a '47 Chevy. I'm sure that we have been over this before. Anyone got any pics or info?

Thanks, i thought i remembered something about the width being an issue. I'll pass it along, I was asking for a friend. I tried to talk him into the Must II but he a got a deal on a complete Camaro.

You can also use Corvette wheels, moving the tires in 2" per side.
Welcome to hell. Here's your accordion.

I am using a 1977 Nova sub in my '40 Chev.
I put it in before MII usage, early '80.

As long as you do not use deep reversed wheels, it is OK.
I have 6 "reversed wheels on front  and they do not go beyond fenders.
Rally wheels were fine when I used them.
I prefer the GM PS to the R&P.
I do have pics after install.

It was not hard to get radiator support located.
Measure everything and write it down  before taking apart.
I can go in detail if needed.

Hope this helps.
