I attended several Divisional and National events per year with a Division 3 champ in the late 80s/early 90s all the way from Florida to Canada. About 15 years ago I had a '95 Impala SS that I ran in Pure Stock while living in NC. I have never owned a Chevelle and thought with a gear and converter change I might be able to put an engine together to run the index and have fun but didn't know which combination would be best. I also didn't realize that competitive long blocks cost the numbers you guys are mentioning. My wife and I are both high school math teachers and with a daughter in college that's out of the question now. However, it's not unreasonable for us to start gathering the correct casting heads, intake and carburetor as I run upon them.

Hey Scott;
Yeah I am stll chasing that 95 Impala SS Corbit Mashburn bought from you.
It ran 1.3 under the index on a good cold day.
You forgot about the B/PS LS1 Vette you had that ran a second under.
Got close with a 1.1 under in my 95 SS on a cold air day.

Can run Stock with the Chevelle a 350 4bbl for about $10000 for engine trans TQ and Gears.
The rest of the car looks great!
Have fun with it!

1.1 under is awesome Dan! Congratulations!

We will see where we go with the Chevelle. It's just in the exploratory phase now as I examine combinations and see what's possible and if we want to go that route. Currently we show the car locally often and plan to do some bigger regional shows this summer. I also hope to hit some Super Chevy events and try my hand at True Street. I think the car has a solid 9 in it with the fogger system (which I know will have to be removed if I do jump to Stock).

Take care.

Scott
