62 Chevy Biscayne 502ci

[WavyGravyTrain1]

Was this a car you had when you were younger or a car you always wanted?

[Usuariodeloscojones]

i l0ove this sound

[HotRod62Chevy]

Parts are easy enough to find for full size 61 Chevys. The difficulty comes with trying to find parts specific for a Biscayne, trim pieces etc. They are available from different people. There is a guy in Nebraska that has a lot of quality used parts for that era Chevy. I was able to locate everything I needed except for the rubber floor matting that they use instead of carpeting in a Biscayne. I really like the 61 2 dr. post Chevys :). Good luck!

[hotrod1224]

nice! great big block sound. im considering buying a 61' biscayne to restore. are parts easy to come by?

[khh1964]

I like that same color dash as the hood, that's what I will go with in my 64 two door biscuit

[Lonewolf3165]

I love the sound of it! Great exhaust tone & you can hear how good the cam sounds in it! Very nice!!

[MrAshlandVideos]

That tranny is great also

[jingelsby]

HEy man sounds Amazing..Awesome choice o nthe 5 speed...Are you running Steel Pack Mufflers on that Bear?

[HotRod62Chevy]

@jingelsby

Stainless Steel Magna Flow mufflers, Super Comp 2 1/4 headers and 3" exhaust all the way back.

[jingelsby]

@HotRod62Chevy LOve Magnaflow..Total OLD SCHOOL SOUND!

I have a Mild 454 I'm putting in 1970 GMC Ratrod Pickup with Porter Steelpack Mufflers..Will send sound clip when done in March.

[n00bcak35]

the biscayne has only 2 brake lights right?

[HotRod62Chevy]

@n00bcak35

You are correct.

[n00bcak35]

kool sweet car to

[citybabyrats]

I think the bel airs have only two tail lights too by im not positive

[n00bcak35]

ill have to look it up thanks

[217zenki]

DAMN that was badass!

[jdubcbr600]

Man, Ive been wanting to here one of these motors with a manual behind it. Sounds damn good!

[forrestrocks1980]

i luv the car.. how hard are they to come bye these days??

[HotRod62Chevy]

@forrestrocks1980 - they are still out there. 2-drs. are a little harder to find than 4-drs. I saw a nice 61 2-dr. Biscayne for sale not too long ago, it was sweet!

[Solid62biscayne]

Nice car, I just got one for my first car, I have a year and a half and it has a 307 with 350 heads and dual exhaust, when I bought it, the guy had 3500 dollars in it, I got it for 300 bucks, guess it is just who you know, mine has a 3-speed on the column

[HotRod62Chevy]

@Solid62biscayne

Cool, would like to see a picture of your 62!

[bodiefisher]

so nice

[mitzvy]

AWESOME! I had a blue 62 Biscayne back in 1981. Full roller high compression 327 4 speed. I got in a lot of trouble with that car. Watch out for the cops!

[HotRod62Chevy]

Yep, especially it is 'attention red' and it is loud, when I start it up after a car show, everybodys head swivels to look.

[CamaroSS1964]

one day my 64 SS will be that awesome

[R5P205]

don't ya just love the sound of a v8 idling :)))

[FATMIKED518]

once again rims on a muscle car,when will it end!?

[HotRod62Chevy]

I kinda agree with you. Looking for a set a 'steelies' that will fit the disc brake calipers, I also think it would look good with red steel wheels and 'dog dish' hub caps.

[FATMIKED518]

STEELIES AND DOG DISHES LOOK FREAKIN MEAN.ESPECIALLY ON A 69 CAMARO.nice ride regardless.

[moparbeech]

Cool bow tie! I agree, Automatics are for chicks!!

[Xarmy187]

nice set up.

Always like to see a classic car that is drivin pretty hard, but not a full out drag car.

once again, amazing car.

[michaelovitch]

She looks like very fast and she is beautiful.

I think smaller rims and bigger tires could be better on it.

I'm French and i'm happy to see an American driving and prefering a standard gear box.

Shifting make you giving live to your car you can let her breath when you want .

People forget this often

Very good job !

clean and sober.

[HotRod62Chevy]

I have to agree, I would like to see her with 'steelies' and 'dog dish' hubcaps, don't think they would fit over the disc brakes though. It would be nice to change the look from one to the other. Thanks for your nice comments!

[HotRod62Chevy]

Thank you so much for the comment! You have captured 'the essence' of driving a manual tranny,"Shifting make you giving life to your car you can let her breath when you want" Excellent

[cousintimmy05]

sweet ride my dads got a 61 biscayne with a blown 409 and a m22

[Creeper613]

nice ride! i say sum Supremes rather than Cragers ;)

wat exhaust u runnin on that ?? n how far from the headers are they welded ??

[32middlelinebacker]

sweet ride but i think a set of steelies would look totally sweet on it or maybe even some craigers lol

[HotRod62Chevy]

Ha-ha, well we think alike, I'm looking for some 17" Steel wheels with some dog dish center caps also. I think it would be fun to switch out the wheels. There's a picture of my Biscayne in the January issue of Chevy High Performance if interested.

[daytonpaul]

I love rhe older corvette rallys.I just traded a real clean 83 Grand Prix for a rus/dent free 83 Malibu Wagon.Some people may say eww a wagon but I think thet are very nice hotrod/cruisers.I have gold daytons but I hope to trade then for a nice set od rallys.I love the taller rims but I'm poor so I'll have to stick to burning off 15's,peacw

[RennyGd]

Well, I'm soooooooo in love. 62 Chevys are my 1960s favorite. Nice Job.

[1964CLEAN]

nice

[freeskier911]

Far out, my life goal is to own a biscayne. And blitz all the loser kids in their 1.6L integras.

[fordtruxdad]

Man, that is one hot ride! I'd love to see you blow away some little kid in a rice burner!

[TCraig00]

great lookin car with a great engine in it

[polio4]

the manual tranny is for men !

congrat dude for the amazing ride

[eightysixchevy]

I have a 66 biscayne and it only has a 250 i6 this summer i want to put a 327 in it pushing 330 horse, but thats a nice car

[HotRod62Chevy]

66 Biscayne's are a favorite of mine as well! Would like to see a picture of it. Is it a 3-spd. on the column or Powerglide? What color? I used to have a 66 Impala SS convertable with a 396 and Turbohydramatic in Marina Blue.

[eightysixchevy]

its a 3 speed on the tree and the color is tan i will get a movie of it soon

[johntandboots]

[opiethapit]

[steve89z]

[HotRod62Chevy]

I didn't have anything this fast in high school, it's probably a good thing.

[steve89z]

takes you back to high school right?

[cowboy1164]

Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, it is a beauty, the 502 does it justice!!!

[HotRod62Chevy]

Thanks for the nice comments. Yes, it still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up when I fire it up as well! Like the TV commercial says, does your car 'return the favor when you turn it on'? Oh Yeah!!

[drewdavison]

thats nice, magazine article nice

[HotRod62Chevy]

Thank you!

[aschimpower]

hey. thats awesome car it has the exact same engine i have in my 72 camaro  i have 2 straighet pipes on bought sides ;) sounds great that engine.... do you too have a 3 stepped manual transmission?

[HotRod62Chevy]

It's a 5 speed Tremec TKO600. I'm not sure what a "3-stepped manual" is? Thanks for the nice comments on my ride!

[640dean]

My dad gave me his 62 biscayne 4 door, it was his first car, now my 3rd. want to make it a resto-mod, alot like yours, did you run into any problums with the TKO when droping it in, and any problums with the torque on the x frame.

[Predikant]

Nice!

[HotRod62Chevy]

Thanks!

[locochucky]

very nice car!

[HotRod62Chevy]

Thank you!

[geeegeee]

Hey thats a nice 62 BISCAYNE. I have one myself, not as powerful as yours,mine is more of a cruiser with a 305. Anyways its nice to see a clean biscayne I know not many were made compared to impalas.Your welcome to see mine!

[HotRod62Chevy]

Hey nice Biscayne! Thank you for the nice comments on mine. I like the "Impala" treatment on the rear trunk panel. Is that painted silver? Or is it the actual "Impala" panel, of course that would be 3 tailights?

[427BELAIR]

nice, sounds and looks great!!!!

[RCE1962]

HotRod62Chevy. Very Nice Car!! What are the cam specs for your 502. (Lift duration etc.)

[HotRod62Chevy]

Thank you for the nice comments. I'm using a Lunati Hydraulic roller with .595 intake lift and .612 exhaust lift, duration is 242 degrees intake and 252 degrees exhaust measured at .050 tappet lift.
