1966 Biscayne Build
 

I've been putting this Biscayne together for the last 8 years. Finally on the last stage. My plan is to make it look like my father's 66 factory 427/425 Biscayne that he raced at National and West Hampton from 66 to 68. I bought it on ebay for $305 from Shelter Island.

DO you have any still snap shots of your Dad's car that we can see?

Re: 1966 Biscayne Build
 

I have a few. This one it's getting tuned at Motion by Joel Rosen and Bill Mitchell.

Re: 1966 Biscayne Build
 

I known Bill for at least 30 years.... and his son Billy looks just like his Pops.

Re: 1966 Biscayne Build
 

Motion replaced the motor in 67. Bought new at Bast Chevrolet and was the first modified 427 Biscayne done by Motion.

Re: 1966 Biscayne Build
 

12 bolt, Strange axles with Ford ends. Moved the top attachment points on the rear up an inch and a half. Added a anti roll bar. Moved the rail in for 10.5 tires.

Re: 1966 Biscayne Build
 

Just need to do the interior with stock bench seat and material.

Great looking big ole' Chevy! My 68 Impala (the Green one in the picture ) was an original 427-425 4 speed car, it was sold it to a fella who restored it back to stock because I had the original # matching motor/trans with it.

Just maybe a heads up if you are going to run it, the weak point on these big Chevies (65-70) seem to be the rear crossmember where the upper control arms bolt to. Know a few guys who found our after, they ran slicks and high HP too. I plated and strengthen mine in the 65 Imp stocker I am building. I have a thread too with pics.

Good luck, thanks for the pics.

Re: 1966 Biscayne Build
 

I plated the rear, basically the same setup you have. Also added a tubular crossmember behind the stock crossmember holding it all in place. My father said he ripped his out too.

Re: 1966 Biscayne Build
 

I tore mine in a 65 Bel Air 4 door with a 230 and a 3 speed!

Re: 1966 Biscayne Build
 

After a long winter I started playing with the Biscayne again.

Awesome build, my favorite car is a 66 biscayne bigblock and a 4 gear:D

Re: 1966 Biscayne Build
 

Love this build. In 1967 I would have been 10 years old but the 427 Biscaynes left an imprint on my brain.:) Am I remembering correctly that Richard Feldman had one? The "Mr. Security" car?

Re: 1966 Biscayne Build
 

No, Richard Feldman's 66 was a 283 SS/O car- held records for many years, 11,30's He ran a G-Force 4 speed w/ a UNDERdriven 4 gear and 6:17's in the back! Lots of RPM

Re: 1966 Biscayne Build
 

Are you sure? I just looked at Colseys Jr/Stk thread on the HAMB and it is mentioned several times as a B/S 427 car. This would have been in the late 60's.

Re: 1966 Biscayne Build
 

Feldman bought the 427 car new, I believe, and still has it .
The 283 HT was purchased in the early 80's ..I think it was the Abston /Gafnea car.

Re: 1966 Biscayne Build
 

So we are both right. Thanks Mark.

Re: 1966 Biscayne Build
 

VERY nice car. Well built.

Re: 1966 Biscayne Build
 

Slowly working on it. Between work, family and racing my other Biscayne haven't had much time to finish it off. Waiting on the original material for the seats. The plan is to race it in Pro at Englishtown next year and run my other Biscayne in Super at Island.

Re: 1966 Biscayne Build
 

I have to ask, why do most people put their fuel pump in front of the fuel cell outlet? Nice car!

Re: 1966 Biscayne Build
 

I wanted a smooth transition from the tank to the fuel pump with straight fittings.

Re: 1966 Biscayne Build
 

Shooting to have it race ready for the Old Time Drags at Englishtown with Bill Hakucsa power.
