Chris's 66 Chevelle upgrade
 

A little past history on this car....... I bought it back in 2005 and did the Body and Paint, suspension, brakes, and added a 406 small block and 700R4 trans....... Great car... Took it on it's first of many Power Tour Long Haul's in 2006..... My son Chris got the car in 2010 and continued the tradition of driving on the Road Tours

So...... Fast forward to 2020 and we did the 1st Barrett-Jackson Road Tour and I was driving my LSA powered 66 Chevelle (just turned 34,000 trouble free miles) and Chris had the 406 powered car........ After driving and comparing the differences I finally convinced him to swap out the Old School to Modern Technology ......and so it starts..... LOL...... Bought a LS 3 connect and cruise 4L70E set-up, Ricks Tank with a Vaporworx fuel pressure set-up, adding a HydraBoost, Dakota Digital Dash and controllers, also a Holley mid mount front drive assy to clean things up, and a Hooker LS mounting kit.......

Here we go !!!!

It's been a while since we've seen a kwhizz project we could follow along with. Hope all is well Ken - Merry Christmas!

Both beautiful Chevelles. What where the mpg's for each Chevelle on the tours?

Chris got about 16mpg and I got 22.7

No surprise here....I new exactly where this thread was going :)

Welcome Back!

Love it!

Be safe.

Included in the Holley / Hooker install kit is the transmission crossmember...... Boy.....30 minutes and it was done....what a treat to get something that actually fits as it should..... there are two mounting plates that bolt right into the existing frame holes ..... bolt it in and drill two hole thru the side frame, bolt it in and you are done......And the side mounts have all the various mounting holes designed in to accommodate all transmission variations ......
