Built From The Ground Up

Thomas C’s 1966 Chevelle

Thomas’s younger brother Chris was helping him looking for a car. As it turned out one of his Chris coworkers Linda had a 1966 Chevelle for sale. Once he looked at it, he had to have it! And the price was reasonable at $1000.

The engine is a .060 over 396 with forger speed pro pistons, H-Beam rods, forged steel crankshaft, aluminum heads, Comp cams solid roller camshaft (.642 lift) roller rockers, and stud girdle.

The turbo 400 transmission was built by a friend Mark with a shift kit and 3500 stall convertor.

He has installed rear disc brakes with his grandson, a cowl hood, and had his friend custom wrap it.

18″ Boss wheels with P245R4518 in front and P285R4018 in back.

LED headlights

LED taillights
