Description of 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle |
There is no way you willfind another car of this quality and workmanship for this price. This ad is for a Pro Street 1966 Chevelle 300 Deluxe that has a chassis that is designed to hold up to the extreme power of the engine. All of the fabrication work was done professionally. We went to great lengths to build the engine so it was reliable, consistant and produces a ton of power.The compression is 10:1 and theComp Cams solid roller is a custom grind that does not hammer the valve trane every time it runs. The power production is felt from launch to top speed with zero transitions. You are literallynailed to the seat all the way through the accelleration with this set up. The engine since it was Dyno Tuned has the rev limiter set at 6000 RPM and as mentioned above has no reason to rev through the roof to produce peakpower. The rear Strange nodular 9" center section has a huge 35 spline Detroit locker in it so you can drive this car on the street without skidding around turns and causing a scene (like with a spool). The RPM's at 65 MPH are around 2300 so it's not screaming when driving down the road. The back half is all Chris Alston Chassis works. The enormous fully adjustable rear housing is a 4 link Fab 9 with wheelie bar attachment trussing. It has a Strange Pro nodular center section with a massive Detroit locker, 35 spline Strange axles with4:10 ratio. The rear brakes are Wilwood pro street duel piston calipers with extra thick rotors. Both front and back suspension have adjustable coil overs. The rear tires are pretty much the widest Mickey Thompson 15" slick made - I was sick of always loosing traction. The transmission is a professionally built Turbo 400 with Cheeta valve body and is manual shift with a 3500 stall converter. There is a transmission cooler in front of the aluminum radiator as well as a pusher electric fan that sits behind the grill for additional cooling on hot summer days. The switch for it is where the front license plate bolt is-see pic. The engineand radiators arecooled by a8 fin 18" water pump mounted flex fan. The front end has a manual steering gear box and boxed lower control arms. All of the front bushings and joints have been replacedand are Moog. The front brakes are duel piston calipersfrom a Corvette which use huge rotors. The interior is all black- carpet, headliner, door panels etc. The floor has been sealed, Rhino lined and has pad beneath carpet to reduce noise. The shifter is a hurst pistol grip with trigger that activates the front brake lock for burn outs. I just recently bought a Dakota digital instrument cluster so that this expensive engine has correct readings and you know how fast you are going down the road. Look up Dakota Digital for a 66 Chevelle and you will see that its capabilities are endless- $750 very well spent. There is also an air fuel mixture gauge in the middle of the dash that tells you how perfect this thing is tuned throughout the RPM's. The hood is a brand new Goodmark steelfunctional 2" cowl induction design. I am pretty sure 1966 is smog exempt so you can drive this on the street with appropriate tires if you choose - even in California. Clear Arizona Title Sorry no trades.. |
