    Talking 496 blown 57 chev

     



    Just took car out of shop for first time in a year...One of our CHR members
    built it andI wont mention his name but his initials are P. Mc....First experience
    with a blower engine...Doug Nash 5 spd with 9 inch ford 4.72 rear...This car
    took my breath away and I was only at 5500 rpm..I will never know what this
    car is capable of as I am getting older and my nerve isn't what it use to be,
    but I can tell you it scared my A$$, I immediately put it back in shop for
    another day....I am not trying to boast, but just to say CHR has a lot of
    good people, and the builder is outstanding, with plenty of integrity, and
    definitely an assett to this club.
