Is that the new motor, Rich? If so, looking great.
Is she still up in LI or did you trailer her down to the new house yet?
I bet your new place has a lot more straight untraveled roads where you can open her up at night.

Yeah that's the new one, every cop in town knows me.So far no loud exhaust tickets or obstruction of view or not street legal front tires etc. etc.Some of them are motor heads some not so much. I'm still in L.I. Kam is having hand surgery Tuesday.

Please tell her she's in my and Pebbles thoughts and prayers......you guys have had to deal with a lot in the past few months......
We hope and pray that your new life is much less bumpy.....

Big block 550 horse? What a sick motor! I'm surprised it's street legal. I hope you are friends with the cops cause that baby is probably loud as hell! Nice machine.

Cool chevelle man. whats the fastest you ever got it up to?
Are you going to race at the track?

[surfstix1963]

Yeah loud is putting it mildly...longtube headers to a 3" exhaust w/x pipe to some loud mufflers that is basically a 3/4 exhaust dumps out somewhere under the backseat less back pressure on the motor.The windows are vibrating in the house when I satrt it I already cracked the new garage window.LMAO.

This motor just went in a couple of weeks ago.I don't use a speedo lets just say it goes well very quickly.I mainly built it for a street car.
