We've been waiting for the opportunity to break-in our new Comp Cam and Holley / Weiand upper engine parts we installed on our 1965 Chevelle's 350, and that day finally arrived. To make it go smoothly, we filled the oilpan with Royal Purple Break-In Oil to ensure that the Comp flat-tapped camshaft would break in properly and safely. We then installed the engine and driveline onto the Chevelle's chassis and wired it up so we could use the chassis as a test stand to break in the engine. Here's the video of what happened!
Check out how nice the DuPont Chroma Premier Estoril Blue lights up on our 1965 Chevelle's door jambs using the 3M Sun Gun! Can't wait to clear the whole car!
Our '65 Turns Blue! Here, painter Nathan Newberry just shot the body and has masked off the jambs for clear. Nathan is spraying DuPont Chroma Premier color on this one.. it's a BMW M-series color called Estoril Blue. Wait until you see this one in sunlight!
We took a look at the new Holley Ultra Street Avenger carburetors to see what they've added to improve the Street Avenger carb line. Turns out, they've made some big improvements in weight savings, additional features, and tunability. Plus the shiny aluminum bodies and bowls and 3 color options for the billet parts look good, too.
Check out this huge Bell intercooler we stuffed in the nose of the S71 Olds. Tonight we did the first trial fitting, we've got a long way to go, but we're looking pretty good so far!
An all-new Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV) will join the
ranks of law enforcement departments across North America in 2011. It's
