She's a looker, that's for sure and seeing that engine bay stuffed full of big block, for me, puts the icing on the cake. 

I know you can build HUGE HP with small blocks, especially some of the big cubic inch SB motors but for me, they just don't look right sitting under the hood of those 68-72's.

Crate 445 hp 454 ? Sweet ride and cool to 400 floor shift.


Coach, it's a 1973 454.  Ya, it had a B&M ratchet shifter in it and wifey kept saying she wanted to drive it so I put the resto horseshoe shifter in... she still can't drive it  :chuckle:

Nice. Thanks for the pics. We still need to hear the thunder.

So do you need to change your handle from Phantom16 to 68Chevelle?

I'll try to get a noise clip up for you car hounds later. Gotta get the  property chores done first.

That really nice car got a lot nicer when you popped the hood, that's for sure.

Nice ride.

Here's your sound bite guys.  Since the engine was drowning me out (I'm pretty sure I'd make a crappy movie producer), here's the skinny on the old red car. Red was born a plain old Malibu (shhh, don't tell anybody).  Who knows where she's been and what she's seen but she fell into my lap three years ago.  I was actually looking for a 70 Challenger like my older brother had when he got out of the Army in 78 but that was not in the cards.  Wifey found this old thing on line one night and we went and bought her the next day.  She was in bad, bad shape (rust bucket as it were) except for the engine the PO was almost done building.  After almost 6 months with my body/paint guy, she came out beautifull.  Oh, specs.... 454 bored .30 over (68's did not come with 454s), Edelbrock semi-high rise manifold, Holly 750 double squirter, HEI ignition, Crane cam/rockers, Hedman headers, rewired from nose to tail, 350 TH tranny shift kitted, Yukon locker in the rear end with freeway friendly gearing, and some add ons to try to keep her running cool (4 core radiator, HO waterpump).  Nope she's not a racer but will still put a kink in your neck going thru her three hard gears. I've kept the SS 396 logo'ing in and out just because (grin).  Thanks for looking and your interest in my old red gal... she's my fourth favorite chick in the world.

OHHHHHH thank you....

sitting in corner smiling.  I may not be getting to the shows this summer because of moving otherwise I would remember that sign.

Some of the only photography I mess with that isn't rated right off huntwa is of cars at the car shows.  Had to look real quick and see if that was the red chevelle I was stalking last year its not, lol.  But it could be  :chuckle:
