For sale is my 1969 Chevelle SS, I have this car for over 20 years. It came originally out of Florida in 1985.


 


This car has not been painted or had anybody work done since before 1985 and is just now starting to show some bubbling on 1 lower fender and 1 lower quarter. This also was a vinyl top car so it has had some rust repair done below the rear window that needs some attention. Car also has its share of scratches and nicks on it from the past 25 years. Underneath the car is rock solid, it has been completely sand blasted and painted with POR 15. Frame also is perfect.  At one time I had a roll cage in it so there has been some floor repair but it was not from rust.


Almost all of the chrome has been re-chromed, polished or replaced.  Door, trunk seals window seals and body bushings have all been replaced. The interior has completely been redone from rug to headliner. New seat foams, rebuilt heater core box and new SS wheel just to name a few of the items. With the exception of the aftermarket gauges and the Hurst shifter in the stock console the interior is stock and looks 100% As you can see in the pictures the intake used is way too high to use the stock SS hood but I do have an original one (red in color) that goes with the car.


The engine is a Gen 5,  502 cubic inch block. I bought just the new short block in the crate from my local Chevy dealer and built it from there. All the machine/assembly and test fire was done at the premier hi-po engine builder “Boucher Racing Engines” in Rowley,  MA. They started by tearing it down and checking the line bore and deck heights. All the stock stainless rings were dumped in favor of moly rings and a Melling oil pump was installed. Next came angle milling the Brodix “Big Brodie” heads to achieve the desired 10.1-1 compression along with installing the Comp can solid roller camshaft and port matched Brodix intake with a Holley 850 CFM carb. Engine was test run and tuned in-shop before being installed in the car. These build specs and choice of parts was designed by Boucher’s after a previous very similar engine that made 602 dyno horsepower but with a slightly different cam and carb. I was assured my engine would be 550+ horsepower.  The engine installation wash finished up with a custom Hitachi high torque mini starter, hooker super comp 2 1/2 ” primary headers, MSD 7AL ignition (hidden behind the firewall) single wire alternator, custom 4 row radiator and all fuel is run in braided lines and AN fitting from the electric fuel pump to the Barry Grant pressure regulator.


The rearend is from a 1966 Chevelle. (overall its 1” narrower than a 1969) It was completely sand blasted, check for straightness and all reinforced welding done. It was rebuilt with a Moroso brute strength posi unit and Richmond 4.10 gears and Mark Williams hardened axles with C clip eliminators and 1/2 lug nut studs. The upper control arms were custom boxed and the lowers were replaced with South Side machine ladder bars. The rearend is bulletproof.


The transmission is the VIN matching turbo 400 that was rebuilt with a Fairbanks shift kit a new hardened output shaft and a TCI 2500 stall converter.  The driveshaft is a custom made Denny’s 1330 series unit that is warranted to withstand 700 horsepower.


I’m sure I have left out tons of info so feel free to call or e-mail me at rlewisone@comcast.net or at 781-233-8341

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

GM's labor deal with UAW union on verge of ratification

Thu, Nov 16 2023

Nov 15 (Reuters) - General Motors' tentative labor deal with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union closed in on ratification as the votes were counted on Wednesday. Following the approval earlier in the day by more than 60% of union members at the Detroit automaker's large Arlington, Texas, assembly plant, additional votes in favor have the deal close to clinching majority approval. The number of union locals, most of which are smaller, still to report vote totals is not large. After several large assembly plants voted against the deal earlier on Wednesday, some media had reported the deal was heading toward failure. But Arlington's support, followed by strong voting in favor by smaller warehouse and parts facilities, has put the deal on the brink of approval. This would mark the first ratification of a deal, which runs through April 2028, with one of the Detroit Three automakers. Ford and Stellantis voting is still under way, and workers at both companies were favoring ratification by comfortable margins. The UAW's GM vote tracking site currently shows approval of the contract leading by a 54% to 46% margin with almost 32,000 workers having cast votes out of about 46,000 UAW-represented GM workers. The Arlington plant, with about 5,000 UAW members, has the most of any GM plant. Voting officially ends on Thursday at 4 p.m. EST, although most votes will be cast on Wednesday. The UAW went on strike for more than six weeks against the Detroit Three, seeking better wages, working conditions and cost-of-living adjustments. All three companies agreed to tentative agreements about two weeks ago. Workers at other GM assembly plants voted against the deal, including 60% of workers at its Fort Wayne, Indiana, truck plant, 53% at its Wentzville, Missouri, plant, 58% of workers at GM's Lansing Grand River plant and 61% of workers at the Lansing Delta Township plant. Seven of GM's 11 assembly plants rejected the deal. In addition to Arlington, workers at plants in Detroit, Fairfax, Kansas; and Lake Orion, Michigan; approved the agreement. Only nine facilities are still listed without vote totals on the UAW vote tracker, including GM's Lockport, New York, components plant with about 1,200 members. Those voting in favor of the agreement have a lead of almost 2,500 and many of the facilities still to come include workers who stand to receive large pay increases upon ratification.
