'66 Chevelle, big block
Heres' a sweetie i been working on for a while now. I have the new engine just about all settled in.
Its' a 632 with 715-815ftlbs of torque.
I have done a couple other threads about this car as i have been getting it to this stage. It is an original big block, 4spd car with all the gingerbreadding. The numbers did not match. The gm stuff i have replaced have been tucked away for anybody that wants to put the car back to nearly original condition.
To date: 9" ford rear w/ hotchkiss suspension; detroit speed front suspension and 2" drop spindles' wilwood discs on all corners; tremec 6spd; mcloed 2 disc clutch, quicktimes can; billet specialities serpentine system, vintage air underdash unit and the air conditioning works; detriot speed power steering; fabricated removable trans tunnel; fabricated radiator stuff.
I politely passed on making the headers, the car is leaving for Kooks' Headers in a couple of days.
There were a couple pics of back when i did the tranny and i included them so you can see how big the tremec is. When the factory console is in place you can't tell it is modified or that a muncie isn't there.Last edited by ojh; 05-29-2012 at 12:51 PM. Reason: spelling
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
