Re: Cool in car video
 

Anything with a 4-speed will work. The one-two shift is very nice. That thing was singing thru the traps.

Gotta love the Chevy II's!!

That is sweet. Thanks for sharing Ed.

Re: Cool in car video
 

Ronnie how have you been? Still doing the junior deal with the kids? How's the Chevy II street car coming? You did buy one right?

Re: Cool in car video
 

Yeah yeah Chuck. I do like the WarFish video that car is bada$$.

Re: Cool in car video
 

That was way cool! If you look closely, you can just see him use the clutch to shift gears. I could not see what rpm he shifted at. That would have been nice to see. This kind of reminds me of...

We are not getting as much track time as I would like. Most of it has to do with my work schedule and travel. The youngest one has shyed away from it now. This one will go up on the market soon. The middle one will physically outgrow his soon and it will be on the market. The oldest one physcially outgrew them a few years ago and she has not shown the interest, so we never built one for her. Team sports for all of them, basketball and cross country, take up a significant amount of time as well.

As for the Chevy II, we did buy it and it sits in Dad's garage 6 hours away. With the juniors and stuff, I have no room at the house. Dad has begun stripping it down. Sold the motor and trans out of it. We will be selling one of the 283 motors that came with it (not a Chevy II factory short block). We are keeping the other 283 which is the original to the car should we have the desire to restore it to original. We found and bought a 327 Chevy II short block that was being rebuilt with new parts and an original 327/350 cam. We will hold on to the cam and install a Comp Cams hydraulic roller that is comparable. Dave Layer has the heads and factory 327/350 aluminum intake. I have the Holley carb (new) that will go on top. We had to buy a restored front sub frame because ours was too far gone to be repaired (in our opinion) at least for our skill set. The 12 bolt is still under it with a brand new 5:14 gear in it and never raced (the gear is for sale).

We are going to resto mod the car. I am changing out the front end with a Church Boys complete front end, including rack and pinion, coilover conversions and 2 inch drop spindles with 4 wheel discs. I wanted to keep the factory front subframe as I am not interested in an aftermarket front clip. The rear will use Church Boys 2 inch drop multi leafs. I am looking at buying Coys C-5 wheels, Vintage Air Gen IV air conditioning with a Vintage Air frontrunner conversion. Tremec 5 or 6 speed trans and aluminum driveshaft. I have no intention on cutting the rear of the car for a 4 link or tubs. The guys on the Nova websites are cruising around town with 17's without much massaging.

The guys on Nova.net, stevesnovasite and National Nostalgic Nova are a wealth of knowledge. They have experienced what many owners, including me are going through and provide inspiration and good how-to's on various topics. Dad, my son and I attended the Nova Nationals in Gettysburg last month. The show was very nice and they had a pretty good turnout, including 1 of 6 1967 L-79's nut and bolt restoration. It was meticulous.

Sorry for the long winded response. How's your tribe doing and the season?

Stay safe.

Re: Cool in car video
 

Makes me wonder why any of us use automatics. With the price of state of the art automatics we can't use cost as an excuse anymore.

Re: Cool in car video
 

My 426 (max wedge) not hemi, doesn't feel too bad either when i drop the clutch... :cool: Little motor Chevy II's are very cool! :)

Re: Cool in car video
 

I vote for the L88 SS/A as well.

Re: Cool in car video

Re: Cool in car video
 

When you look up drag racing.....that's what you should see. I'm doing a little 60 Corvette for SS/LA and if it was'nt for the consistency needed for Super/Stock, I would be yankin that stick. That was really sweet! Wow!

Re: Cool in car video
 

If you would like to discuss the fallacy of that statement, we could do it here or PM. Hopefully your not at the point of no-return and you and the 'Vette can be fixed! :D

Re: Cool in car video
 

Wade look at what Brad Zaskowski does with his stick car. He will put you on the trailer as fast as any automatic guy can. Last time I looked he was #3 in the national points this year. Bad Brad just may win the championship this year. It can be done. Ed

Re: Cool in car video
 

I need to educate myself on the transmissions, shifters and clutch combinations. I would like to attend a seminar/class on that whole set-up. Does anyone have such a class and/or is there a forum on this stuff? I know of a group out here called "PRO STICK" that run local events, and it is really awesome to watch. I would like to get involved with someone thats been there, done that so to speak.

Re: Cool in car video
 

Not to mention Mr. Kevin Helms, multi-year World Champ!

Re: Cool in car video
 

Wade I'm unaware of any classes to attend. You can talk to a number of stick racers to get you on the right track. That's what I did. They will get you in the ballpark and then you adjust from there. There have been many discussions on here about this.

1. Trans most S/SS guys run a Jerico or a G-Force(You can run a Liberty IF you have a wheel barrel full of cash.

2. Clutch there are many choices most run a Youngblood or a McLeod. My McLeod was done by Hyatt. There is also Hays, Ram, etc simply ask around about this as well. I have found guys have run different clutches and like a particular one.

3. Shifter most run a Long pistol grip, T-handle, etc

4. The truth is the softer you can run the clutch and still be fast the longer everything else will last. To much clutch and you will be spending $$$$$$$$$$$

5 A couple races ago a friend of mine lost a trans(ProTrans or whatever) he said it was around 4000.00 not a big difference between the two

Re: Cool in car video
 

Ed Your comment on the Liberty transmission "If you have a wheelbarrel full of cash" Is this based on the anticipated maintenance costs ( ie are they more prone to breakage than the Jerico and/or G Force ) or are you referring to original cost ? Do you have any opinion/ advice on the Liberty/Ram clutch combination in the 2010 C J ? As an experienced stick shift racer your opinion will be appreciated. Other opinions are also welcome.

Im talking initial cost. All the mentioned transmission will work. Same thing with the clutches. Just depends how much you want to spend. Alot of guys are running the 7" dual clutch now. It's lighter than the traditional sof lock. Some like it better some don't. There is one guy I know(I didn't ask him if i could use his name here so I won't) who spent the $$$$$$ to go to the 7" dual thinking he would run faster. Well that didn't happen. he just spent more $$$$$$$. And he was wicked fast to begin with. So you just have to figure out what is best for your car. There are alot of guys who know way more about this than I do. I'm no expert. Good luck. Ed
