1966 Chevelle-making it my own. From stock 283/powerglide to LS3/4L80e and full restoration.

Yeah thats better.

new parts !!

 

[Great White Drake]

Ok, so a little update. My newly restalled, more n/a friendly converter will be here tomorrow. I went with a yank SS4000. Should leave the hole like a beast so I ordered a HR parts bolt in anti roll bar. It’s supposed to be really street friendly and work great at the track. I would’ve gone trz but I think a more race oriented bar would’ve gotten beat up on the street.

Here’s the bar installed on a car like mine.

ALSO NEED OPINIONS
I’m taking out the 2 inner bright headlights and replacing it with a screen/aluminum air funnel and will be routing tubing like a ram air to the air filter. Is it cheesy? Closest example I could find to my car using the same parts. I only need one side but idk how I’d like only one. Thoughts on this?

 

[SleeperLS]

I like it

 

[DEEZUZ]

Love the air intakes

 

[EmersonHart13]

Both, yes

 

[Great White Drake]

Awesome. I’m doing it.

 

[IDAFC21]

Do it, it's 2019!

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

Can the screens be painted or powdercoated black ?
would be less noticeable, but I agree, do eeeeeeeeeeeeeet

 

[1quick]

I dig the air intakes

 

[daturbosix]

id be interested to see how the plumbing for those inlets would turn out under the hood

PS, whats the specs on the old converter?

 

[quikturbo]

Can't wait to see what that convertor does for you. Also, I like the intakes, and would agree maybe powder the screens black?

It was a pas3400. Was seeing 1700 drops on shifts. And pathetic (for my e.t) 1.7 60’ with a best of 1.69. Got into the 1.6’s by adding 3lbs of air to the rear tires.

I’m guesing .2 better 60, 1-3 more mph with ram air set up, and .4-.5 overall picked up in the 1/4. I also took about 70lbs out of the car. Without me in it car should weigh just under 3350 this year.

 

[Great White Drake]

Oh, and I liked the silver screens might try plastidip 1 in black to see if I like it.

 

[Great White Drake]

I really just want to hit the fuckin 10’s guys lmao. Even if it’s a one time everything went right miracle pass.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I like the silver.

[Tight Lines]

I Like the screens too. They remind me of the dips screens I put on my Hellcat when I had it. Nice!

 

[Great White Drake]

The arb is in.

The ram air project has been started.

 

[1quick]

Looking good, can’t wait to see this thing running again
