Up for bid is a track ready 1978 Chevy Camaro body with a 1969 BBC 427ci engine block and heads (Engine code LA: 390HP), Turbo 350 transmission built to handle 800HP. Comp Cam: Camshaft, Roller Rockers, Roller Lifters.  Engine was rebuilt with less than 1000 miles on it. Bore 30 over.  Engine has about $8000 put into.  Estimate to have 600+ HP and runs in the mid 11s at 1/4 mile track.  Tires: Front Kumho 165/80/R15 87T, Rear MT 280/10.5/15.  These tires and wheels cost over $1500 new. Engine idle smooth.  DART high rise intake with 850cfm Holley double pump  mechanical secondary.  Empty NOS bottle and NOS system equipped ready, but never used.  Most steel hoses and fittings.  Electric Fan and new radiator.  Long tube headers with mufflers.  MSD ignition.  Front brake lock up system for burn out. After market Sunpro Gauges, B&M floor shifter.

I was going to take the engine out and put it into my el camino but I've changed my mind.  The engine is a real production engine and not a crate engine.  Engine came from the 1969 Impala SS427 model pushing 390HP.  Just wish I have room to keep this unique 1969 427 engine for later use.  Here is your chance to own something hard to find.  If you want to covert it to street legal, you can replace the windshield, headliner, back seat, windshield wipers, street tires, turn signals and horn.  If you live near by, feel free to come and look at the car.  I also have the car up for sale locally.  Clear Title in hand.

GMC Envoy could be returning as GM files for 'Envoy' trademark

Thu, Dec 27 2018

The GMC Envoy could be on its way back, if a recent GM trademark filing is any indication of the future. To be exact, GM's trademark filing is for the name "Envoy," and is applicable to "motor vehicles, namely, sport utility vehicles, engines therefor and structural parts thereof." A victim of the recession and high gas prices, the original Envoy – related to the Blazer, and more recently the TrailBlazer and similar GM SUVs – was discontinued after the 2009 model year. In today's SUV-happy market of low gas prices, unearthing the somewhat familiar Envoy name makes a certain amount of sense. As soon as gas prices start trending in the other direction, we'll all be saying the opposite, though. What this SUV will take shape as is the big question now. With the Chevrolet Blazer well and truly on its way, there's every reason for a GMC version of Chevy's stylish new crossover sporting the Envoy name. Another, less likely, possibility is a Traverse-sized vehicle to slot between the shorter Acadia (10 inches shorter than the Chevy Traverse) and the body-on-frame Yukon. GM could come out of left field and make the Envoy a Buick too. It fits the bill with the "En" beginning, and Buick undoubtedly has crossovers in the works. We think that's even more unlikely, but it's important to remember that we're still in the speculation phase. Soon we'll drive Chevy's new Blazer, and perhaps have more news then. Check in next week for that. Related video:
