Blown 1970 Chevelle SS Hey Guys, as some of you may know I pretty much sold off all of my "show" R/C rigs, because last year I was presented an opportunity to buy my buddys 1970 Chevelle SS. He had already installed a 468 Big block motor in it just before I bought it last fall. Once I got the car home I pulled out the motor and tranny ( muncie 4 speed) and went thru the entire thing over the winter, and then re-built and repainted it my way ( which also included the addition of the polished Weiand 6-71 blower). Now I finally believe its worthy of posting a few pics.. I've still got a LONG ways to go.. ( need to buy a new pair of blower referenced carbs, wire up the ignition system, run new fuel line and pressure regulator to the carbs, need to buy another blower belt as well as the correct pulley relocation spacers, etc, etc, etc ). As time goes on, I'm sure more of my R/C stuff will end up on here in the for sale section when I need more parts for this thing, LOL, should be a pretty fun toy when its all done..!! "thumbsup" Will post more pics as the build progresses. http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t...psa6e4da69.jpg http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t...psa549713d.jpg http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps0ab35e4c.jpg |
Re: Blown 1970 Chevelle SS So sick. What kind of compression are you running? How many lbs of boost with that pulley set up? Very jealous man. I had an 82 c10 with a stroked 496 I wish I never would have parted with. Are you setting up to run pump fuel? |

After doing some research online, I contacted a guy over in New Zealand ( yeah, you read that right) and I had him make me the blower scoop, with custom anodized parts and fittings . I purchased it from "www.alsblowers.com". The guy that runs the shop over there has direct ties with the legendary drag racer Don Garlits..!! I had to wait for almost 2 months to get it, but it was 1000% worth the wait - It is by FAR one of the single nicest custom pieces I have EVER seen...!! |

Re: Blown 1970 Chevelle SS Damn man that thing makes my pants tight. that scoop definitely looks like it was worth the wait very very nicely done |
Re: Blown 1970 Chevelle SS Horsepower ??? |
Re: Blown 1970 Chevelle SS So what you are saying is, this will be faster then my Subaru ?? Just asking :lmao:"thumbsup""thumbsup" |
Re: Blown 1970 Chevelle SS Weiand's (why-and) webbed front blower drive cover looks the best the industry has to offer (make sure the gears have oil!!!). BTW, screw the carbs and save the cash for injection under that bugcatcher! Oh, sweet ride man, gotta' love the sound of the weez! |

Re: Blown 1970 Chevelle SS Here it is the day I picked it up from my buddy last fall ( I bought it just as you see it in the pics below). It also came with a TON of extra and spare parts as well..!! I absolutely LOVE the American Racing Torq thrust wheels and BFG tires on it and it made me want the car that much more knowing those were included with the sale..! Its in really great shape overall with NO major rust issues, the body just needs a little TLC, which is the next step I've got to get going on once the motor is complete..!! "thumbsup". It sits a little high in the nose, so I'll be adding 2" drop spindles, and will also going UP in tire size in the rear to give it a real mean "rake" when its done, which is exactly the look I'm going after. http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps03958cee.jpg http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps13701961.jpg http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps5858663c.jpg |
Re: Blown 1970 Chevelle SS Heres the "Before" shot of the motor right before I pulled it out to go thru it. http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps553f54d0.jpg |
Re: Blown 1970 Chevelle SS Wow man, that's nice. Your color choice will look awesome on her. "thumbsup" One of my favorite year Chevelles too! |

But first do me a favor and figure out how many gas cans will fit in the trunk. For some strange reason I have the feeling I might need some extra fuel.... |
