Thread: so i was wondering.....

well me brother had a 72 chevell with a 454, 30 over, with a custom ground circle track cam or some chit, the beefiest parts top to bottom, the parts alone cost 7,000, back in 89, never on a dyno but rated at 650 hp, had a B and M built trans, 3200 stall, semi manual valve body, 411 full posi rear. ran 12.6 in the 1/4 with slicks. over all cost of car, with the loudest stereo in town, it was a 12,000 dollar car.

it was his daily driver, and he loved every minute of it. the motor never gave him one problem over the years. just regular stuff, valves adjusted, tune ups fluid changes, and lots of tires lol

if you cant tell yet my brother got hit by a car while riding a moped, he got 100,000 grand, so it was the best money could buy at the time. and he spent it well. lol

even back then it wasn't a real big amount, he went through it pretty fast, bought a bunch of cars, 2 el caminos, a 70 and a 72, the chevell and a 72 camaro z with the split bumpers.

sold the camaro for a profit, and sold the red camino made something off it not much. had about 6 or 7 grand tied up in the silver 72 camino, it was running 13's, but he kept getting bigger cam and intake up grades, so when he got the chevell, it was all in, best of the best, no short cuts. no need to upgrade any thing when it was built.

all of his cars were tits too, no dents paint shined and ran like tops.

this is the chevell

after he crashed it, the engine and trans went into this


67 camaro, he lent the engine to his friend who bought this car for 5000 with no engine, its set up for 1/8 mile track, had 456 gears full spool rear end, tubed rear end 33 inch tires, frame connectors, the little bicycle tires up front, full roll cage, fuel cell in the trunk, no wipers not much of an interior, as its a race car lol and we drove it daily on the street, sharp right hand turns were real fun with a spool rear, the inside tire just chirps its ass off while plowing the front end, but in a straight line it was fast, till it ran out of gear. and it pulled the front wheels, what more could you ask for?
