I did some research and found the May 75 issue of Super Stock and Drag Illistrated magazine shows a photo of Prudhommes Monza with the body off and the motor being installed. It appears the proper chassie to start with is the Monogram style that came in the Olds, Firebird, Avenger, kits. The front axle is behind the fuel tank and the axle is solidly mounted across top frame rails, this photo also shows a 6 point cage. the fire bottles and front weight are just like the Monogram kit. The color centerfold show a typicle 3 hole Injector, But the 76 and 77 Monzas ran a Crower injector. The Monogram kits slick also fill the huge rear wheel openings of the Revell body. you will need to modify the Monogram tin work to fit, But the Revell Monza body frame work fits the Monogran frame perfectly. heres another shot of my Bonin Monza.

Back in 78 I had the opportunity to crew on an BB/FC. That chassie was a Spitzer and common to the times It had a trailing front axle [ behind fuel tank]. The axle was streight , from spindle to spindle and solid mounted to the top chassie rail using triagular shaped brackets. Tha roll cage was only a four point as NHRA hadnt mandated six point cages yet. You could use the Monogram- late Revell chassie,and remove the two center roll cage bars. you would need to scratch build the front axle, it would mount where the the kits suspension would normally mount. I made my axle the same length as the kis tie rod assm. so I could use kit parts and save scratch building these items. Hope this helps
