Default Re: 65 Biscayne

I guess I could explain myself since I gave an answer. The way I'm figuring it, the 396-375 is a well developed combination. You have most of the parts. You could go to Arnold Greene, Mike Heintz, Darrell Wikle, Adger Smith, or Gary McGlasson with the parts you have and come away with a competitive engine. If you get to B weight, it shouldn't be any harder on parts than a B/S Camaro, and Kevin Helms does real well with one. Yes, the 396-375 is on the expensive side, but probably NOT more expensive than a 396-325. And likely to be easier to make more competitive.

TimQuigley ran a killer 66 Biscayne in O and P stick with a 283 4 speed. It was a great car! The 250 hp 327 looks good too. Go for the Jerico!

Thumbs up Re: 65 Biscayne

The 65 Bicayne/Belair, is competitive with 282-220 HP, in O/SA, or P/SA, (O/S, or P/S), but that's about it. Kevin Fogerty Sr., campaigns an Impala with a 283-220 HP, in P/SA, and Q/SA,and is very successfull. If you wish to restore it, as a 396/325 HP, I have a pair of correct casting cylinder heads in excellent condition. They also make a nice Nostalgia Superstock car. Good luck.

I will take that advice and have it weighed with the rally wheels that are on it now, and keep my fingers crossed; I'll post the results in a couple weeks. I already figured on lightweight front brakes and Bogarts or something like that.
Thanks for the offer Mr Warehime, I already have a set of 702's for the 325/396. I may need an intake though. The intake that comes with it is the Aluminum GM intake. What year did they start that intake?
I figured if it's not feaseable to make a competitive big block stocker, N/SS would be an option, as well as the new 12.0 index class that's become real popular lately. Atco gets on average 30 cars for that class.
You have all been a great help...Thanks Again!
