The Kansas City show is September 21 & 22. It would be great to see some of the Chevelle owners from this site bring their cars to the show. http://midamericachevelles.com/shows...acc/index.html

Wheelhop, looks good.

Little bit of advice though, TRASH that air cleaner and put on a flat base with a K&N 3" or 4" element, and solid top, like OEM style chrome with the L88 call-out.

Here's a dyno video on some air cleaners:

Now on a 650Hp BBc, that air cleaner killed 71.1Hp. They "figure" it's good for mid 300Hp cars as after that it's seems to cost Hp, FYI.

Glad I found this thread. I'm going to be picking up another Nova, a '67 SS. I'm planning on using my L88 shortblock with some ported '69 427/390hp "215" casting heads, and a .630/.637 cam with a Strip dom intake. This set-up in a 3600+Lbs Buick has ran 10.70's.

Thanks for the tip EZ NOVA, I have it on there now for looks and I had one on my first 1969 chevelle SS in High School. Still a lot of "fine tuning" to get everything in place.

Had some fitment issues with my Ansen 2-Piece bellhousing so I swapped it out with this vintage 1-piece Ansen Scattershield.

Hey.....that’s a nice looking scattershield....and period correct. Where did you find that???? :hmmm: :grin:

Also, while I was in there, I installed this cool Hurst "black velvet" T-Handle I got from a member here on this site about a year ago (Dan Schutzbank). Had to swap out the stock muncie handle and use a Hurst handle which had the correct thread size.

Was cleaning up my garage and decided to hang up some Day-2 "art".
1 set is Lakewood and 1 is NMW.

Thanks to you! Kurt found it on facebook and showed me the ad.

I’ll let you buy Karen a cocktail at MCACN in November...... :beers:

Her drinks are more expensive than mine.... :biggthumpup: :grin:

Did you have any problems indexing that bell housing? The Lakewood bell housings are kind of a pain. Just wondering if the Ansen is any better.

I've never indexed a bellhousing before. I do use an old input shaft from a Muncie to line up clutch before the install and that helps.

Very cool. Got a video of it running?

go back to page 3 of this thread there's 2 videos there.

All this "Day-2" work is making me thirsty so I added a mini fridge to garage!

I've got the exhaust installed temporarily, and will probably add tailpipes eventually.
But I needed something to drive for the last few months of the car/cruise season.

Cut-outs added as well!

What a cool day2 build! Congrats and love the T Handle.

Top shelf car very nice.
Those dumps are as day two as it gets.

That thing sounds awesome!!

MAN THAT CAM HAS A WICKED LICK...
I want a L88...

I heard it in person at the Northern Ohio Chevelle Show in August and it does sound Kick A$$!!

Awesome car and work Jim!!!

What brand diff cover is that?

I can't be 100% certain but I believe it's a Cal Custom unit which I purchased used on Ebay. Had it powdercoated and then sanded the fins down to bare aluminum.

There's one just like it for sale now on Ebay for $249.

Looks outstanding. Would love to find one for my 67

Plenty of vintage 12 bolt aluminum diff covers on ebay, but they can be pricey.

L88 sounds killer.Bob

Want to thank BILLD on this site for selling me a killer lakewood scattershield that I believe were used on motion cars. Here is a picture before it was powdercoated.

And on way home from powdercoater!

This scattershield did not come with a block-plate and from what I am learning they don't get one. There probably should be a lower shield/cover for it that is similar to one on a stock aluminum bellhousing. Does anybody know where I could find one?
