If I can unload my Chevelle come spring time, I'm going to use the funds for the turbo kit.

Why? Does the Chevelle have no chance of ever running?

No, it does. Priorities shifted, I parked it a while back, lack of time, money and motivation basically.

Default Not to derail the thread.

Picture was taken a number of years ago, and right after a bath.

Yeah, I know I get that quite a bit sometimes. The car is pure blunt utter brutality. I scored an engine from a boat, mercury marine 454, mated it up to the muncie m-21 tranny, zoom clutch, lakewood bellhousing/blowshield, 12 bolt posi rear end and 3.73 rear gears. The rear suspension has a full Edelbrock upper and lower trailing arm set up with anti hop bars, plus each coil has its own air bag.

But, on the other hand, I gotta pull it out, clean it up, go through it, most likely need brakes all the way around again, get to fixing the back panel under the rear glass. Once it starts, its just not going to stop.

Ah, I knew it was somebody on the forum, lol.

"I was thinking of getting it but I drive it as a daily driver..to much power at the wheels?" = I was thinking about getting the kit, but the car is my DD. Too much power?

Yeah but it's a 70 Chevelle!! I dunno, I just think that car kicks major *** and is certainly worth holding on to. That's the kind of car that actually will continue to gain value over time, unlike our LS4 cars.
