66 Chevelle 502 EFI
 

Here's another one that showed up yesterday. I've been looking forward to ripping into:unibrow:

It was a very nice Street Race Hero built in '95. It has one of the first 502's that was sold in the Seattle area back in the day complete with the first Jesel Drive for a 502..well that was then- http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...%20car/011.jpghttp://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...%20car/009.jpghttp://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...%20car/017.jpg

this is 2011 and it's getting another transformation
 

The build will have the usual suspects

complete Speedtech Suspension for A- Body

Ride Tech coil overs

Rushforth Wheels

Neslon Racing Engines EFI and dyno

Baer 6 piston brakes

ATS spindles

We are going to do some cosmetics and put it back together and have some track day fun!:thumbsup: http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...%20car/023.jpg super clean original floor pans!

i like the way you think:thumbsup:

thanks Greg! got that from a good friend of mine on the east side of town- he even paid for shipping to the shop!

Another one of Greg Weld's "dirty little secrets?":_paranoid

Sweet project! :thumbsup:

Looks like another nice project for you Chris. You have hit the ground running and haven't looked back. I wish you continued success!

HAHAHAHAHAHA ----- best thing ever! I love my new Rotary!

It's tough being a spoiled brat! LOL

Glad to see the work is rolling in there buddy!

update-
 

well we got a little carried away- why modify an old frame when AME is 10 minutes away?http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...20car/Feb6.jpg

We are amazed at the quality of this frame! what a nice product
http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...0car/Feb6b.jpg

It fit perfect

at this level there is still 6" of ground clearence under the car! 335/30/20's on the Rushforth wheels.........and still waiting for Nelson injection unit:_paranoid

Those wheels. I wasn't sure at first, but they are growing on me.

what's the tri year in the back ground? :thumbsup:

Subscribed - I always like watching your builds

Thank's guys! The 55 was here for a small punch list and a modern EFI Stealth Ram.

Moderators- If you could remove Nelson from the title that would be cool....we are getting our client's engine back and going with a Hogans or some other idea of intake- any input on a cool big block intake?

anything from him is sexy!

Good stuff. Looking good sitting on that chassis.

I love the frame and the ride height. I like the wheels too. SWEET!

This is what I'm using http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_...fi_chevy.shtml

pro flo xt for rectangle ports. Looks good in the black powdercoat.

That rear wheel and tire set up is bad ass!:bow:

Thanks man, just finishing up the mini-tub install.

a wider tub now exsists!! Tony at ABC makes a killer piece that saves a bunch of time like the DSE stuff for Camaros.

I will get pictures up. I've been a little buried here

as promised- a pic of the ABC mini-tubs, nice product. They needed a little love for the tall 20's

The frame is back from powder-coating and assembledhttp://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...car/May22e.jpg

Chris, good stuff there. Thanks again for letting me stop by your shop, it's a good thing you've got going there. Some very nice cars you're building.

Looking great Chris, love the direction of this build!

Looking really good Chris. Good to hear that you are busy building cars.

thanks guys! this one is coming along pretty quick. The main body is painted, wired and at Stitches getting the interior done. We've got a few surpises on the dash and valve covers that should be pretty slick- Chris

trying to figure out what to do with the Nelson intake..any ideas?
http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...car/May22f.jpg

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...car/May22g.jpg
the clearance is really tight-

Looks like some serious bends are in order - possibly too tight to fit?. Maybe you should send the intake my way. Besides - the smooth finish doesn't match your valve covers! :D

I noticed on a '69 Camaro with BBC and that intake, that they moved the radiator to the front side of the core support. Anyway that's possible?

What's up with that Lime Green Mopar in the background?!?:unibrow:

no way, too tight with the grill and bracketry. Unless you do a serious radiator tilt back and down a bit but that intake angles down a lot.

You can fab up a y split with aluminum pipe and go left and right of the fans, or maybe oval tube and go straight down between the fans then open up into an air cleaner box.

Nice work Chris. Good to hear you guys are doing well.

Thanks guys. The oval tube is kinda what we were thinking, maybe out of silver carbon-fiber so it kinda matches. That Nelson intake is about a mile long- fitment issues in a '66 Chevelle??

Tone- that is getting some Rushforth wheels, interior and cleaning up the engine and underhood treatment. It's really a clean car for around here, no rust ever- Chris

Man, I missed a lot of this thread's development. I saw the first few posts but c'mon man....that AME frame is too damn sweet!!!! Brought a tear to my eye when you stuffed the Rushforth's in the wells!!!

BTW thanks for mentioning those ABC tubs!!! I plan on eventually going with a frame like this when funds allow and it is good to know there is a "stock-style" tub on the market to give builders a running start!

Awesome build as always man!!!

Dave

Monday was a big day around here. After fighting trying to get the right gloss on the firewall after modifying it again we finally put the body on the frame for the last time.

Let the SEMA count-down begin. The car will be in the Dynomax booth in Hot Rod Alley against the south wall.

EEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!


Good to hear Chris!


:thumbsup:

Intake Idea
 

Just a thought, seen where Holohan's Hot Rod Shop had done some modification to an intake like this on a camaro he was working on, nice build:thumbsup:

Very nice Chris! Car is coming out great :thumbsup: Love the big block!

very nice work :hail:
