One of my old projects!

Hey guys,

I just dug this up and it brought back many memories

This was my 1967 Chevy II that I built from the ground up. It had a full tube chasis, mustang II front end, Wilwood brakes, etc. etc.

It weighed 3000 pounds, kinda heavy for the Chevy II but the frame was steel. It had a 1300 horsepower small block in it that I built completely. It was running an 8-71 Kuhl blower, the fuel was alcohol, boost was around 20psi with 8mm drive. The cubic inch on the motor was 434 with 11:1 compression .100 dome pistons, billet crank, aluminum rods, aluminum block, aluminum heads, the works.

This car still had 10 inch slicks on it with a Ford 9" rear and 4.30 gearing.

Needless to say I had a TON of money in this car, I built if for the Hot Rod magazine "Fastest Street Car in America" shootout.

My best time with it was a 4.80 in the 1/8th mile and a 7.78 in the 1/4

In the video below I was newly married to my current wife and a big 21 years old! The car had 3 inch flow masters on it that quietened it down tremendously until I uncorked it at the track. I have a burnout and leave video I will post later if I can find it. Sorry for the sorta grainy quality, the 8mm tape is old and has not been stored properly It was much louder in person and shook the ground

One bad Chevy II Duece!

Thanks guys!

I will have to post a video of the 1969 SS Camaro that my father and I built as well. I had a 355 small block in it running a 175 shot of nitrous. It was my street killer, it ran 10.40's and 6.80's in the 1/8.

I am getting that fever again, thinking about building one with my daughter. She loves racing and wants to race cars, so I could build an 11 or 12 second car pretty easy and let her take it to the drag strip when she gets old enough.

Momma will love that idea

That is very nice man. My brother has a 67 Chevy II that he is going to be starting on here shortly. Nothing to that extreme though. Only has around 700 hp small block.

badazgtp a 700hp small block is nothing to sneeze at, lol. That is potent to say the least!

Yea, I am starting to get the bug real bad again, real bad. I went without a car like that for over a decade and missed every day of it. Decisions, decisions,
