I have always loved that Fairlane Streetfytr68 :yes: .

Malitude is great too :) .

and of course Smokey Yunick's #13 (couldn't find any good pics of it :( ).

The most common problem (IMO) that I have seen with Chevelles is that most of them sit to high. Give it a nice stance.

Hmmm...

'67 Chevelles just need more doors and rear storage area to be really cool PT cars...

The good news is a big cube SB2 motor does not need a blower to make 700HP by accident!

You beat me to it Frank-- I'm currently trying to talk a friend/"customer" out of trying to turbo a used SB2.2 he bought complete from Childress. Just ain't gonna happen without making lots of sacrifices in the piston department like you said, not to mention you end up killing the quench in the chambers with the HUGE dish needed to get the CR down even into the 9's!

You are right though, don't need much breathing help on a SB2 to make good power numbers. :yes:

Thanks guys for the pics. I agree that the thing needs to sit on the ground and tuck some wheels. I don't think anyone will notice one less stock chevelle.

We use Jim Watkins who is pretty well known in our part of the country. He has done quite a few Sb2's for different guys. He said if we made it large cubes and did some other magic to it it would be monster. I'm not stupid when it comes to internals but I know, if Jim says it can happen. It can.

Just side note Jim just finished a Trophy Truck engine for Jesse James that was 434 cu in and It put out 825hp. That thing sounded unreal at 7000 rpm's with open headers.

Well it sounds like a 67 chevelle with lots of surgery in new direction. That is what I wanted. I should have a drawing here next week.

Well I got the drawing from Eric Black yesterday, It looks good. I have talked to my engine builder and he said that low compression is no problem unless I want 7:1 or something. We are talking a 434 or 454 SB2 with some kind of forced induction. I'm gonna start the layout on the chassis and drivetrain.

I should have some more colors soon.

Rodger, that is sick. Looks like Eric does fantastic work. :bow:
