good deal or no?? & a stall converter ??
I know this is'nt a 'chevy' site, and this may offend some of you, but you guys seem to know your **** ..
besides mustangs, my favorite body style has always been the mid 60's chevy nova super sport.. I found a 66 (mint ext), problem is, 625hp and a 5500 stall converter (the guy has time slips for the car with a different motor, 9.38 @ 135 mph, he claims this new motor puts out 150 more hp. $14,900.00 with a 5500 stall and 600+hp, would this car even have the ability to drive on the street (ocassional car show, drag strip, cruising) to build this same car would cost well over that $$$ amount.... any input is appreciated, i apologize in advance for bringing a chevy question here.. ------------------ Black,84 GT,ground effects,shorty headers, 'open' dual exh.,302 HO(no pollution control crap),T5,89 ported heads,edelbrock Performer manifold, Edelbrock 2122 cam,600 Holley, high volume oil pump... gears (4:10's) coming soon. N2O, soon to follow!!! |

Well I seriously doubt there is much streetability in a 5500rpm stall. LoL. You could always change to another stall. And for 600+hp and I'm assuming a carb. Probaly a few miles to the gallon. Big block or small block? My project S-10 is on it's way to being ready to drive. I'll post pics when I get them in about an hour. Or maybe I'll just put all the info on my website. What kind of tranny also, Probaly TH-350 or TH-400, or even a powerglide. What kind of gears? I would really count out the driving it on the street if the guy runs 9's in it. It's a drag car right? I mean you can run 9's in a street car, but I'm guessing this guy has a big block with 4:56 gears and a non-overdrive tranny.

I'll post some of the specifics, the stuff this guy has in this car is pretty impressive (for the price)... I looked at some semi-stock ones for 10,000, not very impressive.....
with the price of the car and guessing at the motor and drive train costs, this guy has to have over $20,000 into this car... It's a sweeet ride, but an expensive toy to let sit in the garage (then again i've only put 115 miles on my 66 caprice in the last 3 years)... It must be a guy thing??? ME MUST HAVE!!!! RACING FUEL, GO FAST!!!! ARRRRRRRRGGGGHH |
