Listing my 1966 big block 427 vette originally a 427/390hp. I bought this car 1997, amazing how time flies, but now
as my fiancée and I are starting a family it’s time to part ways with the car.All the parts listed (like suspension) have been done with less than 500 miles driven since they were installed.
You can see it has the 67 stinger hood on it and a wide body; these were done long before I had the car. I don’t
have any extra parts besides what is on the car and listed.
Detail time. The engine was freshly built last year. All the engine components have less than 300 miles of use. The
engine was dialed in on a chassis dyno for air fuel ratio after the rebuild. The engine is wild, make no doubt
about it! I wanted to keep the spirit of the 427 (high revving all engine) and replicate the performance of the old
L88 style engine. It makes right around 600 crank HP at 6500 RPM, built by Midstate Machine in Des Moines. The car
runs on E85 ethanol currently, I love E85 – cheap fuel at the pump that can support a ton of compression! All the
parts that run E85 can also run gas, you would just have to rejet the carb, be sure to do that and monitor the A/F
ratio if you switch back to gas!
Here are the engine details:
· Block is a G 5 8, so it’s a 1969 4 bolt.
· Transmission is a M22 rockcrusher, case is 71-74 date. Internal gears are newly replaced.
· Centerforce clutch. Blow proof bell housing.
· Rear differential has new Richmond gears and hardened side yokes. 3.70 .
· Lunati forged crankshaft.
· Custom Ross Racing pistons.
· Manley H beam rods.
· Edelbrock performer RPM rectangular heads with matched air gap intake.
· 825cfm custom holly carb for E85. ½” fuel lines with all 8 AN fittings.
· Holly black fuel pump.
· Matched comp cams custom grind hydraulic camshaft with their short travel hydraulic roller lifters and
matched valve springs.
Cam has .620 lift and duration @.050 is 248, 256.
· Hooker Super Competition Sidemount Headers 2233HKR with 4” side pipes, chrome. Spiral Turbo Specialties
baffles mounted in the side pipes.
The headers are 2 1/8” primary tube diameter.
We tried several others, but they all killed the power on the dyno. These were the only ones we could find that had
enough flow.
· Be Cool aluminum radiator and fans. Meziere electric water pump.
· MSD distributor and ignition with tach drive.
· Right around 12:1 compression, E85 ethanol compatible fuel pump and lines.
Stainless Steel Brake Company C2 kit with polished 4 piston calipers and slotted rotors.
The main wiring harness is new, steering box is rebuilt.
Centerline wheels, fronts are Eagle GSC 255/45R17, rear Nitto NT555R Tire 315/35R17 drag radials. The Nittos are
well balanced for the car, with a rolling start they generally spin just a bit before grabbing tight.
Offset rear trailing arms, Mid America Motorworks Performance Suspension Kit – Stage 4 – that includes 360lb
composite rear monospring, front coils, Blistein shocks, heavy duty adjustable strut rods and tie rod tubes along
with polyurethane bushings. Also has the aluminum upper control arm upgrade.
The interior is in good shape. It has the original AM/FM radio. It worked fine, but we disconnected it a few years
ago, it should work just fine but I can’t guarantee since I have not tested it recently. Headlights raise and
work.
The heater core no longer fits, so it’s gone. The paint has a great shine and looks good from 10ft away, but
there are many cracks and chips and spots on various places over the car. I tried to photograph examples the best I
could. A paint job was always on my list, but never happened.

Will Chevy Bolt get Opel badge in Europe?
Sat, Mar 7 2015General Motors' European plug-in vehicle name may go from A to B. That's because the Chevrolet Bolt could be sold under GM's Opel brand across the Pond, Automotive News Europe says, citing people familiar with the process that it declined to identify. The Ampera, the European version of the Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle, is being phased out due to poor sales. While the Ampera won the European Car of the Year in 2012, its sales have trended well below expectations. That the Bolt would be sold as an Opel hints to us that GM expects to distribute the electric vehicle in far smaller numbers than in the US. The Bolt, which was introduced in January in its concept version at the North American Auto Show in Detroit, will have a single-charge range of about 200 miles. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGeen on Friday afternoon. The car will also have a price tag in the US of about $30,000, factoring in federal-government tax incentives. That's if those tax incentives are still around in 2017, when the Bolt is expected to debut stateside.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
First 2016 Chevy Volt commercial rocks us to sleep
Fri, Jan 30 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Volt, with its thorough restyling and increased all-electric range, is an exciting evolution of Chevy's groundbreaking plug-in hybrid, so it's only fitting that the commercial campaign to sell it to the masses also be engaging and vibrant. Well, the first ad has just been officially released and it rocks... us to sleep. Now, we get that General Motors didn't want to repeat past Volt-commercial mistakes. No one wants to see dogs licking feet or dumb (and weirdly horny) aliens again. Nor would it be smart to slam all-electric vehicles, since it now sells the Spark EV and has just revealed its 200-mile Bolt concept. So, what does that leave? How about a mostly computer-generated spot that relies on cliche images and an upbeat synthetic soundtrack to communicate that the Volt is now as boring as other four-door appliances? An intro, featuring a lightly-bearded gentleman peering at his tablet through designer glasses launches us into the action as the Volt makes its way across a city bridge, then a curvaceous country road. Chevrolet doesn't include voiceover to inform you that the new Volt has a 50-mile battery-only range. There's no mention of its gas mileage once its electric charge is depleted – items that just might be of importance to hybrid buyers. The ad also makes no attempt at establishing an emotional connection, either through drama or comedy. There are, however, lots of fast cuts of the new, normalized interior, including a two-second detail shot featuring the windshield wiper switch. We imagine that this is only the first in a series of spots that will tell the Volt story and motivate potential buyers to run down to their local dealer, hopefully the next spots will be more interesting and informative.
