Hey guys, I havent posted in a while. Between this Chevelle and a 900hp big block for a friends boat I havent had much time for the 69 Runner. I have been working on the Runner but I havent had the time to update and get my pictures in order, there has been a lot of things done on it in the last few months. This Chevelle is a 70 and has a 350/4 speed/ 12 bolt combo and I have been working on getting the new 496 on the dyno as well as restoring a frame for it. It will look stock but pack more than 700 pump gas hp. Here are some pics as I just finished putting it together after being in the paint shop.

Alright so the color isnt so original. I have this attraction from the universe for green cars, this one included! I took it to a car show over the labor day weekend and there were no less than 3 in this color combo! I cant wait to buy a wing car so I can have the only one since there are none around here at the local shows.

Oh and since I am in Chevy territory right now, here are some pics of the big Chevy I just finished for my buddies boat. I have close to 150 hours in it. It made 887hp at 6300 and 837tq at 4000.

Is that thing reverse rotation since it's a boat engine? If not, maybe you could load it into The Distraction for a few weeks...I'll come out and help you evaluate its performance...

Hi Ray,

No its a garden variety Chevy, there already has been much pressure to load it into the shovel and lay some rubarb. Come on out and I will show you what a hundred mph feels like in a 19 foot jet boat!

I know right?! I hate going fast in these things. It scares me since they are so shakey. This boat feels like a Cadillac at that speed, feels a little better than my buddies boat that runs 130 mph. :eek: I only went that fast once.
