Power Tour 2011

[napa68]

Just thought I would share my new aquisition. 59 Bel Air. 71,000 miles. Unrestored (besides the obvious) Any suggestions for powertrain? I was thinking an LS dropout with trans.

I like the 6.

[iluv69s]

a 6 w/ 3 on the tree?? and dealer AC?? that's cooollllll...

I had a 69 camaro like that years ago. Too coollll !!

[Xplantdad]

How about the inline 6 with a turbo...Dare to be different!

[olredalert]

-----I vote for the six with a multiple intake and a split exhaust with some gutted &quot;Smittys&quot;. Dare to be different. How fast do you see yourself going in that 59 anyway??? Ah,,,Just a thought........Bill S

[CC Rider]

Wow, that car is cool! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cool.gif

[my69rat]

I dont see anything wrong with the way it is. I mean wow it looks beautiful to me.

[budnate]

me too... really cool as is and has air what else does a guy need, maybe some nice tunes hidden, nice find!

[Bill Pritchard]

Another vote for &quot;leave it as-is&quot; here.

Me too ! Get some hop up stuff for the 6 holer...you can make them run pretty damn good...or you could check out a World Products new aluminum 409 block and go as goofy as you want...and no one else will have one at the car cruises...

[Belair62]

Oh and if you get tired of it <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/Can-I-Have-It.gif

I'm on Charley &amp; Gags' team; ...... leave the 6 &amp; stick and enjoy the AC. Love the car, but for my personal taste, ........ I'd have to replace some rolling stock.

[SmallHurst]

OMG!!! Dress the stovebolt in some eyecandy, split exhaust and maybe a split intake, keep the three on the tree, maybe go with some Cragers (and some RWL Polyglas <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif) and have fun in the throwback machine!!!!!

[napa68]

I was giving some serious thought to these for rolling stock

No doubt the 6 and the stick is cool. Perhaps I should leave it! I like the price of leaving it!

[bashton]

I certainly agree; leave the 6 and dare to be differant!

But then...I drive an AMC!

Regardless, that is just a neat car, so go have some fun with it.

I would leave the 6 in there for sure. Trans, can't really go wrong with anything.

Might be nice ot have some extra torque though. Turbos get complicated. Did anyone ever put a small roots blower on one?
