Default grandmas 66 chevelle

Yup, this was my grandmas car new, I told her as I grew up that I wanted it so when she got to old she gave it to me in 1993. It's had many drive trains, the latest being a crate 454HO/5sp combo that Ive sold to make room for an 03 lq4/4l60e combo...
Plans are:
Adding L92 heads
LS3 intake
92mm DBC throttle body
Hooker headers
Hooker mounts
Holley pan
TR cam
PSI wiring
Rev convertor
Transgo HD2 kit
3.55 gears
More to come

Very nice car. Looks like a nice build. My father had a 66 with a 396 and I've always liked them.

68BB, see pix#9 those are 68-72 motor mnts, wide/tall frame stands that I cut with my chop saw then rewelded together cause they were too wide for the motor mounts, but they were taller than the ones that fit them. I needed the extra height to clear the tie rod on the pass side....and the oil pan to cross member.....
