Thread: '66 Chevelle, big block

Tweet

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.
