Thomas, can't say welcome since you'be been here for a while, but can say I'm glad you decided to post and show us your rides. The 68 Chevelle is a sweet looking ride. I've always like that body style. My brother in law had a 69 with the 396/375 hp 4spd stick. I used to borrow it when I needed wheels to get to work. Work trip was 42 miles one way. That bad boy would pass everything on the road, except a gas station. I had to give it back after a few days, that or file for bankruptcy.

Keep us up to date with your projects. Glad you decided to stop lurking.

Thanks for the compliments.
Tango, I am going to be rebuilding the 350 that was in the 68 again. This time destined for the 72. Would you know about twin turboing these engines, Ill need some tips on building the engine for turbos. I think Im going to put a 327 crank in it to squeez out some more RPM, get some rollers, and some good forged pistons.
Mopar34, I bet that would cost a lot driving that thing back and forth 42 miles.
My car is close to a 69 the color and the engine is a 69. The car was originaly a White, black Vinyl top, 325 horse 396. I built the engine pretty close to what Chevy High Perf. Mag built a few years ago (Frankin Rat, I think) They took an oval port 396 and tried to get 375 horse rectangular port numbers. They acheived slightly over 375 HP. Nice build and great cam.
