Power Tour 2011
Just thought I would share my new aquisition. 59 Bel Air. 71,000 miles. Unrestored (besides the obvious) Any suggestions for powertrain? I was thinking an LS dropout with trans.

Re: Power Tour 2011

I had a 69 camaro like that years ago. Too coollll !! |
Re: Power Tour 2011
How about the inline 6 with a turbo...Dare to be different!

Re: Power Tour 2011
-----I vote for the six with a multiple intake and a split exhaust with some gutted "Smittys". Dare to be different. How fast do you see yourself going in that 59 anyway??? Ah,,,Just a thought........Bill S

Me too ! Get some hop up stuff for the 6 holer...you can make them run pretty damn good...or you could check out a World Products new aluminum 409 block and go as goofy as you want...and no one else will have one at the car cruises... |

x2 - Really nice ride. Jake |
Re: Power Tour 2011
I'm on Charley & Gags' team; ...... leave the 6 & stick and enjoy the AC. Love the car, but for my personal taste, ........ I'd have to replace some rolling stock.

Re: Power Tour 2011
OMG!!! Dress the stovebolt in some eyecandy, split exhaust and maybe a split intake, keep the three on the tree, maybe go with some Cragers (and some RWL Polyglas [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]) and have fun in the throwback machine!!!!!
|
Re: Power Tour 2011
I was giving some serious thought to these for rolling stock
http://www.etwheels.com/et/fueler.html No doubt the 6 and the stick is cool. Perhaps I should leave it! I like the price of leaving it! |
Re: Power Tour 2011
I certainly agree; leave the 6 and dare to be differant!
But then...I drive an AMC! Regardless, that is just a neat car, so go have some fun with it. Bashton MCACN Managing member |
Re: Power Tour 2011
I would leave the 6 in there for sure. Trans, can't really go wrong with anything.
Might be nice ot have some extra torque though. Turbos get complicated. Did anyone ever put a small roots blower on one? |
