I didn't have a muscle car... But I tried with what I had to work with in High School. :D Everything I did to it, I did while in High School, washing dishes for 5.25hr. The day I brought her home: Dropped a freshly rebuilt .030 over 283c.i. Then did mild modifications to it... Cam, Intake, Holley 600, etc Cheap paint job and we're done... I got married and sold it... and haven't regreted it yet... I was tired of it... It needed so much more than I had the time or money for, Interests change, and I moved on. Still wouldn't mind snatching up a 68-72 Nova one day.
A dream car. Cunningham CR4. Cost $15k in 1952. Racing frame built in West Palm Beach. Fl then sent to an Italian coach builder then returned and had a Chrysler 300 motor put in it. Only 26 Made and worth about 1.5 million today.
We have my wife's dad's old AMC AMX that we are planning on possibly resporing into a G-Machine. My favorite out of all my buddies cars is my friend Mike's 67 Mustang he built from the frame up and track races. It has a 675hp 429 under the hood and full race suspension.
I used to indulge in racing quite a bit, had a new gen GTO and a 2000 Trans Am. Both were full built, and fun little cars. The trans am was a 10 sec convertible.
I just bought a 2013 Camaro ZL1 back in May. It has a Supercharged 6.2L V8 making 580 HP. It's an awesome running car with an awesome sound..
1977 Camaro. It was given to me by my grandmother about 10 years ago. She was the original owner and its only got 57,000 miles on it.
the RED DRAGON........ "Took the restrictor plate off to give the Red Dragon a little more juice. But it's not exactly street legal, so keep it on the down low."
Not a muscle "car" but a truck. This is only only pic I could find of 06 SS. I sold it to pay for my wifes school wish I still had it. It was "murdered out" that was the cool thing back then. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk
I like boats the most,Here is a couple of mine both v-drives with alot of over drive in the boxes.the white boat is a 565 inch bbc with 3 speed trans and the hydro is a 601 bbc both badarse.I build racing engines for a living not all glamor as one might think there is a lot of stress to go along with it most of the time the end user is standing over your shoulder when your running there engine on the dyno and some engine run over 9500 rpm just ten feet away. Here is a engine on the dyno its a custom 1 off sbc 393 cu inch chevy out a pro stock truck look at the dyno numbers.not mine
What makes the Torque numbers so much lower than the HP?? It's usually the other way around... but I don't know anything about Marine Muscle...:D
I never owned what you'd call a muscle car, but had several old Chevy IIs and Novas with 6 bangers. The first was a red 1963 Chevy II that came originally with a 194 cu in 6 cylinder. We dropped a 250 cu in straight 6 with less than 40,000 miles on it from a 1969 BelAir into the Nova with a Powerglide tranny. I tore the car up, got a blue 1963 Nova and put the same tranny and engine in it. Also had a 1965 Chevy II wagon with the stock 194 cu in straight 6 three on the tree. Also had a 1974 red Nova, 250 cu in straight 6 with a 3 speed automatic. Also had a blue 1974 Nova with a straight 6 250 cu in with a three on the tree. My friends tried get me upgrade to 283, 327, or 350 V8s, but I was so wild back in them days I'd probably not be alive today if I had a muscle car. Plus gasoline was too expensive. ..........I always wanted a 1967 Chevy II but never could find one without paying an arm and a leg. They are still my favorite cars. Not the best out there but very simple and easy to work on. The only V8s from Chevy I had were in a 1971 pickup truck and a 1980 Malibu Classic. Had a few Buicks and Oldsmobiles but they were leadsleds, not muscle cars.
Dyno sheet is from the small block Chevy it's all about rpm and that's a lot of tq out of 393 cubes not to mention 931 hp engine is a rare canted head head x pro stock truck engine that raced the nhra circuit that my customer is running in a cubic inch per weight rule. Each carb is over 1300 cfm each,zero weight oil and running a five speed lento trans shifts gears at 8500.
