Very clean good looking car. I wanted to build one (59) also. I was going to do a post car with a 377/Liberty and a 300 shot on a 10" wheel.Quote:

Can we get some info on the drivetrain. . . . . . . . . ?
Welcome to the site.:cheers:
Thanks gentlemen. Well it's 4,600 lbs with me in it, 509ci with dart 345cc heads, F2 Procharger and a 225 shot of nitrous. It runs on E85. Ford 9" with Detroit locker 370 gears, 35 spline axels. A 400 trans with gear venders overdrive. Four way air ride, still runs a stock X frame. The fastest so far is 9.67 @141 I'm hoping to improve that a little.(I'm sure you've heard that before) Shoot my new L92 heads almost flow as much. LOL Those are on a new LS2 crate motor I have just got running. It's in a 1980 Malibu wagon. Rod
P.S. LS2Tuner, I may need your help with the Malibu motor tune if I can't figure it out. I got it started with the #6 chip MSD gives you with the 6012 box. Thanks Rod
Working on getting an LS1 running in a 1955 Bel Air. Got quite a way to go.
I'll post updates.
WOW, some nice old cars on here!! Kinda thought about posting my piece, but starting to think maybe not...lol. Nah, it's what I work on when the Z28's running, or being cut/welded on like it is now. Anyways, its a '68 malibu with a 402BB with a few go-fast goodies. But mainly just like the old car and wanna have fun with it. Please don't be too rough on the paint/body, it needs alot of work bad, but until the Z28 is finished it's staying like it is...lol.

66 Impala, 4DR Auto. has stock 327 and Powerglide. Teal inside and out. was thinking about keeping the 327 and upgrading to a better xmsn, but there are some really sweet deals on LS1/M6 or A4 packages these days. so i'll either go with an LS1 or keep the 327 and throw a blower on her. what do you guys think.
She looks pretty good to me I kind of like the flat paint look on old school beast plus look at what she was before you got her like that.... I check out your fquickQuote:

Thanks! Yea, she was pretty rough when I got her. The flat/semi gloss actually doesn't look all that bad. I mean, since the paint's alittle rough, the wheels are rough, the trim is alittle rough... it all matches...lol. If it had nice shinny paint, itd look goofy right now..ha.Quote:
