You guys may have seen a few recent posts from me lately. I got married over 4 years ago and the chevelle project got sidelined, just like you all said it would. Well, my marriage is going strong and I am ready to get back into the project.
Here are the latest plans for my '70 Chevelle:

Bracket racing:
454 bored and stroked to a 496
solid roller cam (please suggest a cam) I am looking at Lunati's Voodoo line...
Rotating assembly by "Mike Wolfplace"
Trying to decide between a turbo charger or roots type blower (any advice is welcome)
110+/-gph elec fuel pump
carburation (TBD)
elec water pump
new factory 4 core stock chevy van radiator (perfect fit!)
Dual 13.5" elec fans (puller)
Ford or Currie 9" rear end w/ 4.10+ gear
Turbo 400 w/ full manual valve body
trans cooler?
full tubs w/ 15"+/- wide tires rear, ladder bars
Disk brakes all around?
8 pt roll gage, etc....
headers - 4" with 4" bullets

If you guys have some suggestions/recommendations/specs, please post them on the appropriate forum and I will be sure to read them. Thanks for all the help several years ago, now let's get back to this project.

Hello John. You will have more viewings of this, if you put it in one of the other sections. Such as Performance, or Engines, or Bench Racing etc.

Good luck with the project.
