Since we just got done with the Power Tour Pics by Ken...and Ken's car was next in line...Here it is!


Bruce.......


I bought this 66 Chevelle off Ebay about 5 years ago.....the original intent was to make it into an 8 second street car using 572 of ProCharger big block for power.....But......After driving it around in it's stock condition (283-PG-PS-PB- Factory Air), I decided it was too nice to cut up, but it was still a little underpowered to suit me.......so I swapped out the 283 for a built a 406 small block and 700 R4 combo and used the car as my daily driver for a couple of years.......after not having Air Conditioning or Overdrive on last years Power Tour, and wanting to do it again this year.....I decided to completely go thru the Chevelle .......Body, Paint, Interior, Drivetrain, Aluminum Radiator w/Dual Fans, Suspension, Wheels and Tires,Sirius Radio, etc.......This year the Tour should be a little more comfortable, and Economical (1100 RPM @ 60Mph) with the Air and Overdrive......Gonna be Fun......

Ken,

Thanks for sharing your wonderful '66. You are truly a person who "gets it" on so many levels! I look forward to meeting you at SCR9.

And folks...Ken has graciously sent pictures of his "other" Chevelle to be featured, too! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif
