Nice choice! I used to own a '66 Chevelle!

I guess if I had to get rid of the Vette, which is supercharged now, I would go with another supercharged car for sure! I always wanted to do F/I on my Chevelle but never was able to do it!

Was there any Dyno RWHP or HP numbers for your new Chevelle?

Thanks,Matt

Any ideas on how much power with the blower? or how quick 1/4's?

Although I can relate to your choice (I liked my '70 SS 454 LS6), I like my Corvettes better.
Between 450 and 500 hp 450 tq not sure on the 1/4 but will find out in the spring

I love Chevelles but couldn't see myself going backwards in time with technology & reliability. Now if you were to tear it apart & put an LS3 in it with modern handling & comforts that would be cool. Best of luck with the Chevelle.

Yes but so much easier and much cheaper to work on.

Beautiful Chevelle. I couldn't car less what someone drives as long as we share the same passion. Enjoy!
