Description

AT FIRST GLANCE this Chevelle's Super Slick body indicates the type of build quality that flows throughout the entire build .

The body was removed from the original frame and then married to a specially ordered Art Morrison Full Chassis with 2'' x 3'' Square tube Frame rails . A full Race Cage was added along with a 4 Link Rear Suspension to keep the 9'' Ford Locker Firmly planted . The rear has been narrowed and houses 3.79 Gears and 35 Spline Axles . The body was dropped approximately 3'' over the frame for that Ultra Low & Aggerssive Stance . Full Custom Sheetmetal Floor Pan, Firewal, Tunne, and 48'' Wheel Tubs were added . The trunk provides enough space for a 22 Gallon Polished Stainless Steel Fuel Cell and twin Billet Aluminum Battery Hold Downs for both Optima Red Top Batteries . On the business end of this Chevelle is a 540 cubic inch Merlin Pro DRC Big Block with 4.50'' bore and Stroked to 4.25'' . A set of Dart 360 Aluminum ( O-Ringed ) Heads with reciever grooves cut in for ultra seal . the heads have Titanium 2.35'' Intake and 1.90 Stainless Valves .
