Now that TC has a Project/Build forum I'll be copying my build thread over here also.
66 Chevelle LQ9/T56 "Project LS-Heap"
Well, it's time I start a project thread as I've got enough parts together to go for it. I'm stuck with the name as my daughter calls my Chevelle the "Heap" since it's been looking rough around the edges compared to the wife's Magnum RT. Hopefully, she'll start seeing things my way as she's wanting to go cruising this summer in the "Heap" so that's all the motivation I need.
Chevelle as it sits:
454 w/T56 and 3:73s
4 wheel drums
Stock interior
15in Draglites with 235/60s on front and 295/50s on back
Quickest 1/4 - 12.89 at 110.5mph with 2.21 60ft
Project Highlights:
LQ9 courtesy of daytonayellaz (Thanks Travis!!!)
Corvette accessory drive for Alt/PS and Kwik for A/C
Aftermarket cam with LS6 intake using LQ9 TB with DBW
(Goal) 400+ hp/tq at rear wheels
Fuel system undecided
OEM computer with modified harness by me
Rebuilt/Upgraded T56 with Pro 5.0 shifter, hoping to use existing McLeod 12in clutch/PP on LS1 Flywheel
4 wheel C6 discs with help from Tobin at Kore3
Non-power master from corvette with Wilwood P-valve
All new brake lines bent/flared by me
SC&C Suspension courtesy of Marcus
Stage 2+ at front
Currie-trac Upper and Lower at back
SC&C springs at all four corners
Hellwig front bar and DSE pro-touring rear bar
Vari-Shocks
19in BBS RS-GT wheels (already have from previous project)
Jeep GC quick ratio steering sector swap
Interior redo with BMW E30 Seats, new carpet, console(?), Dynamat(?)
Goodmark 2in steel cowl hood
Some body work followed by most likely primer until next year....
I got a good start today so I'll start uploading pics tonight.
