Looking good! Nice choice of parts...you should be very pleased! What engine are you having built? Who's doing the work on the car? Looks like a solid body! :thumbsup:

thanks. so far, just my dad and myself. scott shafiroff 540. ez efi. all aluminum. comes off the dyno tomorrow. can't wait! the body is solid about the floors and trunk. was a vinyl top car so it had some rot in one sail panel and the lower part of the windshield. had to replace a quarter on the driver's side. the car had been wrecked. no rust in the rockers or other sheet metal. had to find a right front fender due to previous accident as well. overall, as far as chevelles go..........it's a solid 8 because there are no 10's.:thumbsup:

Love the look of your project so far. :thumbsup:

How did the engine do on the Dyno?

I also would like to know how you like the "Fast EFI" when you get all set up.

Thanks,

it made 625.4 hp and 676 ft lbs. of torque. i will let you know how the efi goes.

ive been reading that the single fast setup is only good for 550-600. id love to see what it puts down with it.

good work so far!

me too. i am fairly certain the old man will find a chassis dyno somewhere. ssre dynoed it at 623, 624 and 625 on the third pull at the flywheel. torque was 676. should pull like a beast. its really a mild combo due to the limitations of the efi setup. but........you know they have come out with an add on from f.a.s.t.? must put another throttle body on and use a different controller. so if it aint enough, we might go that route.:thumbsup:

big brown came to see us again
 

anyone use this brand? sachs? got it from the transmission place. looks nice close up. pressure plate is made in mexico...........that's better than china! dam. that's sad when you get excited over something being made on your continent even if it ain't in your home country.;)

these headers are awsome!
 

these things fit! check out the ground clearance. i highly recommend lemons headers. the coater did a fine job as well.

:wow: :drool: I like....More pics please

hate to break it to you but the tko is made in mexico too.

what size primaries are your headers? my old man has lemons on his 66 chevelle and they wrap around the frame, but theyre 2.25".

Very nice!

same continent...... North America. so i am happy.:thumbsup:

i think 2 1/8 is the largest they offer without going over the frame. that's what we ordered.

Nice looking build

thanks.

thank you.

Man oh man that motor is just a freakin work of art...You can just SEE the torque numbers pouring out those heads...

Funny to think that it wasn't too long ago that 600 streetable hp was much harder to build for, would only really run good WFO, (on 92 'plus anything liquid and flammable' to add to the tank, and forget about any kind of civility around town...And now you have to (ha ha) "settle" for the 600max HP EFI unit...My oh my have we all gotten greedy for horse-power...HELL YEAH WE HAVE, especially since it's gotten 'reasonably' affordable and hella-reliable...

Just like the rest of these car hounds, I can't wait to hear about how the thing handles itslef day to day, cold/warm, (heaven forbid) driving in school zones, etc...I'm sure just like all the other superior products they offer, that F.A.S.T. EFI will handle flawlessly...

Can't wait to make the swap over myself...

Keep the pics comin' man...You know we all live thru these builds thru the late night photo-shoots...

Peace

how right you are my friend. been working on a tbird project for a friend. be glad to get back on the chevelle and try to fix that little 600hp problem :lol:

richie

Mad props to you and your dad!!! You guys have done a great job on a great car. Keep us posted!!!

looks like that car is gonna be top notch great work:thumbsup:

thanks!

maybe one day we will get it finished.:thumbsup:

update with more to come next week
