Frame off Resto Chevelle

that chevelle looks great, and yes a 383 stroker would be a great build for him.

yeah like a 6-deuce huh? I had a six deuce lowrider in High School. Light blue metallic chrome 13" Daytons. Imperials C.C. North Hollywood BITCH!!! Yes I was into that stuff in my former life.

I doubt he would build another motor since he just got done building the 350...383's are fun and all but i htink they are over-rated... i would go with a 502 big block...

i wonder if anyone else on r3v has a muscle car, and is that your 67 chevy II SIMON S ?

[Simon S]

That's an awesome look. Your friend has excellent taste.

BTW, it's a '68. The 69's had different tail lights.

69:

I spy a Mass tag, surprised this is not a rust hulk.

That is a nice looking chevelle. I left you a Message on your phone asking whos it is. I am moving tomorrow. You wont see my cracka ass for a while.

but the question about the 396??? why a 396?? that motor aint nothin. a small block is the way to go, unless were talkin bout 502s and bigger. a nice 383 small block is a revvin beast!

Just the fact that the 396 was a factory produced engine for the 68 Chevelle. 415lb-ft ain't nothin' to snear at either.

[JasonC]

a big block 427 would be nice but they got small blocks going all the way up to 454 now also.

Can't go wrong with a good ol' six fo

I know all about Chevelles and muscle cars, the question was why a 396, and not a 454- if were talking original style. if your going bigblock, you need to go BIG then.

[Koony]

I'm not doubting your knowledge of muscle cars, but the 454 wasn't introduced until 1970. the SS396 was a factory option for the 68's. My boss is a collector of classic Chevelles (he has four of them) so I see (and occasionally drive) these cars on a daily basis.

We had a 63 Corvette in the shop a week or so ago for a shift linkage issue. That really got the shop buzzin'!

[BMDub]

+1, the 454 was not introduced until the 1970 ls-6 chevelle.

[Koony]

:bow:

a big block 427 would be nice

word..... COPO..... 0-60 in 5.1

[JasonC]

also the 396 was changed to a 402 in 1970 but gm desided to keep the name 396 on the cars. sbc don't really look at home in bigger cars like chevelle's and impala's, but the 383 stroker i'm building will be a beast in a in my little vega...
