Hmmm- Ford, V10, C6 or Tremec, 9", just enough space. Keep the natives stirred up

Besides that - great looking beginnings

Now, that would be interesting... Not sure I'd live through it, but interesting!!!


Thanks for the links, Don! Whatever I do with it, keep it, build it, sell it, trade it I'm going to be quite fussy that it's history is preserved and it comes back to life as a gasser--even if in street form.. I remember them running as a kid, when I got the car home yesterday I just sat in my chair and looked at it for an hour or so and enjoyed a lot of really great memories from my first days at the track! I was a MoPar guy running Super Stock, but the gasser's always got everyone "up to the fence" when they ran--wheels up and a bit out of control, but putting down one hell of a good race!!!! I guess for me the thing is it doesn't matter that it's another one of them dreaded Chevrolet's, it deserves to be put back to it's former glory and be out there on the track for other's to enjoy... Now, anybody notice where I left my old 'Nash 5 speed and my Racemaster slicks???

hey dave, put a big bad ford in it you dont care about, fix the front suspension, then have fun, drive it like you stole it, i sold a belair post in 1997 still regret it, a 460 would lok good in there

Got to admit that thought has crossed my mind any number of times, Greg!!!! I dunno, probably won't do a thing with it until I finish researching the history of the car.... The "vultures" have descended on me alreay though.....most of the chebbie guys in town have cruised by to check it out, some made some really silly offers for the car. Got to wait and see what I can dig up on the background.....
