| Simply stunning vehicle. California car that now resides outside of Charlotte NC. Description of the vehicle is below. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Will assist as much as I can with shipping. For sale locally which may lead to the auction ending early.•New Chevrolet Performance 350ci crate motor. This engine produces 290hp @5100 rpm and 326 ft. lbs. of torque @ 3750 rpm, has 8.5:1 compression and runs on 87 octane fuel. It is “dressed” in retro 1956 Corvette style with chrome finned-aluminum Corvette valve covers and polished finned aluminum air cleaner and manifold-based oil filler neck from OTB Gear. With 2-piece rear seal and 4-bolt mains it will provide long-term durability. •A 168-tooth Power Master #9500 high-torque starter cranks the engine. A Mallory Unilite distributor #4748201 with mechanical advance and Mallory #6100M ignition module, Mallory #29216 high-output chrome coil, and Taylor 8mm ignition wires provide the spark. •The fuel system was completely replaced. It includes a reproduction gas tank from Tanks, including new support straps, filler neck, and sender. The fuel line was replaced with a 3/8-inch line run outboard of the passenger side frame rail to accommodate the dual exhaust system. Up front, an Edelbrock Performer #1406 600 cfm AFB carburetor with electric choke is mounted on an Edelbrock 27034 Performer EnduroShine aluminum intake manifold and fed by an Edelbrock #1721 polished 6 psi mechanical fuel pump through Edelbrock chrome steel fuel line #8131 with polished filter #8129 (Russell replacement element #651670). •The cooling system is comprised of a Griffen Exact-Fit high-efficiency aluminum radiator.•The exhaust system uses full 2.5" Corvette “ram horn” manifolds connected to a 2.5” turbo aluminized dual-exhaust system. The system uses Flowmaster mufflers, an “H” pipe to balance the backflow in the system and MagnaFlow 3x18" polished end tips with rolled and angled ends.•The original PowerGlide transmission was replaced with a new TCI TH-350 "Sizzler" transmission and torque converter and uses new transmission cooling lines. Also, the following Lokar parts were installed; a remote neutral safety switch, polished braided stainless dipstick, and TH-350 transmission gear indicator and shift linkage so that the column shift looks original and works correctly.•At the same time as the drive-train swap, the front end was rebuilt, and the front drum brakes replaced with disc brakes. The front-end components were sourced from CPP and included front end kit 5557FKP, new stock coil springs FCS638S, and manual steering linkage kit 5557-SLK.ECI’s Zero-Offset Front Disc Brake Conversion Kit EC-708ACK was installed which utilizes the stock spindles, new aluminum hubs, 11” rotors (‘79-81 Trans Am: rear), and big piston GM calipers (‘78-81 Camaro: front) and keeps the front wheels at their original width. A CPP chrome dual master cylinder with integral proportioning and residual valves was installed coupled to a chrome 8" booster and all the front brakes were plumed with braided stainless-steel high-performance Teflon lines from Pure Choice. At the same time, I replaced and rerouted the rear brake hard line outboard of the driver side frame rail for a shorter run and to accommodate the dual exhaust system. The rear drum brake linings and wheel cylinders were replaced, and self-adjusting brake kits were installed. New Bilstein gas shocks were installed at all four corners.•The wheels were replaced with one-off polished aluminum wheels designed to look similar to 1956 BelAir hubcaps. The size is 15x7 with 4" backspacing to accommodate the Big GM Caliper front disc brakes with 11' rotors. The wheels were manufactured by EVOD Industries in Escondido, CA. These beautiful wheels are wrapped in Diamondback 205/75R15 DBII tires with 2.25" whitewalls.•I rewired the entire car with stock harnesses upgraded with an American Auto Wire's ATO fuse panel and with provision for the new chrome PowerMaster internally regulated single wire alternator. At the same time, the OEM gauges were replaced with Classic Instruments 1956 Chevrolet 6-gauge cluster with integrated tachometer.•The OEM signal-seeking radio components have been replaced with a reproduction 1956 Chevrolet pushbutton signal-seeking AM/FM/Aux Radio with iPod connection and Excelon KFC-X693 300W 6"x9" Flush Mount rear speakers.•Next the car was professionally repainted in stock Adobe Beige and Sierra Gold colors including the dash and garnish moldings and replacement of all weather-stripping, window channels, flipper mechanisms the windshield and rear glass. All side trim was polished and Danchuk reproduction taillights, stainless steel grille components and stock Chevrolet hood bird and emblems were installed. I did not repaint the firewall, radiator support or interior sheet metal to document the exceptional original condition of the car.•The interior was completely restored to original with all components coming from Ciadella interiors, including new seat padding, padded kick panels and package shelf and headliner. The trunk received Ciadella Daytona carpeting and a padded rear panel to match the interior. Like the engine compartment, the interior of the trunk was not repainted to showcase its incredible original condition.•The final project was to install a new Borgeson power steering (Delphi gearbox) kit attached to a Flaming River tilt column and topped off with a 15-inch stock-style steering wheel. The fluid is driven by a Saginaw power steering pump with integrated reservoir located with a black powder-coated lower mount from Bill's Hot Rod Parts. The installation looks period correct with the column shift indicator in synch with the TH-350 transmission. | |
