When I saw the heading I knew that the trans had to have been changed. There is no way a Powerglide, stock 283 and a 3.08 rear can do anything remotely like that.

@hullinger Haha true, It could with one wheel, but it had 3.55 I think in the orig diff before it blew.

I'm just curious what was that noise right at the end as he was pulling away?

[ivile]

That snapping popping noise? That was the rear tire on the other side.

No freakout burnouts for my 283. Rebuilt a year and half ago here in Denton, Tx by an old hand. He said it was one of the cleanest he'd seen. Christmastime for me to hear that. Tap on the pedal and my 2000 lb Impala scoots along nicely.

@Milner62 Alot of people say im full of it but what can I say the fan clutch is dated 1961, the glass water bottle on the fender the bracket that holds it is dated 1961 as well. It was generally done in the assembly lines to use what you had if you ran out, so its obvious that they ran out of parts and were using some left over parts from 1961 when mine was being built and mine was lucky enough to get a 61 corvette block with the correct heads and internals.

@saxyjazz123, Chevrolet has done some weird things. For instance the block in my 63 is orignal to the car but the block was orignally ment for a Corvette. It was made in Flint where all corvette blocks were made, but the date code for when the block was made doesnt match up for a 1963 year model and based off the casting number the only one that makes sense is a surplus 1961 Corvette block ment for the 1962 year model but the 327 came out in 62 replacing the 283 so there was a surplus

@saxyjazz123, well im working on a slide show I started on it once before but stopped cause I couldnt pick the right song that would go with it.

Currently on my list is my 63 Belair that I am getting closer and closer to being finished, all thats left is paint & body, interior restoration and then its on to reassembly. next on my platter I dont know I might do my 78 Cougar XR7 which is my every day driver or I might do a frame off restoration on my 56 Fairlane.

[saxyjazz123]

@Milner62 it was supposedly modified by chevy racing after the 63 racing year with left over parts. we havent ever confirmed it though lol. really all we have confirmed cause of numbers is that from the factory it could have only been the 110hp car and that it has the 140hp motor in it.

[saxyjazz123]

@Milner62 oh ya its no problem i really hate lying to. im like you in that i dont really only want one brand of car but i would have to say i tend to lean towards chevy. dont worry about the videos though. i know the whole need to be restored thing. my dad has a 1956 pontiac wagon. i believe its a cheiftan? i think thats spelled wrong and i have an 85 camaro. one problem for us really is affording parts so projects get very drawn out. oh we also have a 63 corvair

[Milner62]

@Milner62, But I have thought of doing a photo slide show though but I am reluctant because I am currently working on my 63 right now and the others are pushed to the side waiting for their turn. Might just be a personal issue that I dont like the thought of sharing alot of photos of a car that isnt being worked on as of yet. But if you are open to a photo slide show I can do a quick one on my 63 or so and have it up in a few days or so.

[Milner62]

@saxyjazz123 might have went over board but one thing I dont stand for is lieing. I dont care if its online or in person I dont care for it. I just dont get why people have to lie to fit in by saying they have this car or that car. Who cares get the kind of car you like and screw what others think. As far as me being better, didnt intend for it to come across like that.

As far as videos goes, I dont really have videos of mine cause their either under restoration or are in need of it.
