Listing my 1966 big block 427 vette originally a 427/390hp. I bought this car 1997, amazing how time flies, but now
as my fiancée and I are starting a family it’s time to part ways with the car.All the parts listed (like suspension) have been done with less than 500 miles driven since they were installed.
You can see it has the 67 stinger hood on it and a wide body; these were done long before I had the car. I don’t
have any extra parts besides what is on the car and listed.
Detail time. The engine was freshly built last year. All the engine components have less than 300 miles of use. The
engine was dialed in on a chassis dyno for air fuel ratio after the rebuild. The engine is wild, make no doubt
about it! I wanted to keep the spirit of the 427 (high revving all engine) and replicate the performance of the old
L88 style engine. It makes right around 600 crank HP at 6500 RPM, built by Midstate Machine in Des Moines. The car
runs on E85 ethanol currently, I love E85 – cheap fuel at the pump that can support a ton of compression! All the
parts that run E85 can also run gas, you would just have to rejet the carb, be sure to do that and monitor the A/F
ratio if you switch back to gas!
Here are the engine details:
· Block is a G 5 8, so it’s a 1969 4 bolt.
· Transmission is a M22 rockcrusher, case is 71-74 date. Internal gears are newly replaced.
· Centerforce clutch. Blow proof bell housing.
· Rear differential has new Richmond gears and hardened side yokes. 3.70 .
· Lunati forged crankshaft.
· Custom Ross Racing pistons.
· Manley H beam rods.
· Edelbrock performer RPM rectangular heads with matched air gap intake.
· 825cfm custom holly carb for E85. ½” fuel lines with all 8 AN fittings.
· Holly black fuel pump.
· Matched comp cams custom grind hydraulic camshaft with their short travel hydraulic roller lifters and
matched valve springs.
Cam has .620 lift and duration @.050 is 248, 256.
· Hooker Super Competition Sidemount Headers 2233HKR with 4” side pipes, chrome. Spiral Turbo Specialties
baffles mounted in the side pipes.
The headers are 2 1/8” primary tube diameter.
We tried several others, but they all killed the power on the dyno. These were the only ones we could find that had
enough flow.
· Be Cool aluminum radiator and fans. Meziere electric water pump.
· MSD distributor and ignition with tach drive.
· Right around 12:1 compression, E85 ethanol compatible fuel pump and lines.
Stainless Steel Brake Company C2 kit with polished 4 piston calipers and slotted rotors.
The main wiring harness is new, steering box is rebuilt.
Centerline wheels, fronts are Eagle GSC 255/45R17, rear Nitto NT555R Tire 315/35R17 drag radials. The Nittos are
well balanced for the car, with a rolling start they generally spin just a bit before grabbing tight.
Offset rear trailing arms, Mid America Motorworks Performance Suspension Kit – Stage 4 – that includes 360lb
composite rear monospring, front coils, Blistein shocks, heavy duty adjustable strut rods and tie rod tubes along
with polyurethane bushings. Also has the aluminum upper control arm upgrade.
The interior is in good shape. It has the original AM/FM radio. It worked fine, but we disconnected it a few years
ago, it should work just fine but I can’t guarantee since I have not tested it recently. Headlights raise and
work.
The heater core no longer fits, so it’s gone. The paint has a great shine and looks good from 10ft away, but
there are many cracks and chips and spots on various places over the car. I tried to photograph examples the best I
could. A paint job was always on my list, but never happened.

Stop-start standard in four-cylinder 2015 Chevrolet Impala

Fri, May 23 2014

Chevrolet has announced that it will include stop-start technology as standard in the entry level 2015 Impala. The result is a nearly five-percent improvement in city fuel economy, also known as one mile per gallon, up to 25 mpg, combined. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start. The 2015 Impala comes equipped with Chevrolet's 2.5-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine, which will also offer 22 mpg in the city, and 31 on the highway. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start and the mild-hybrid eAssist model from the 2014 MY, which got 29/25/35 combined/city/highway mpg, has been discontinued. Chevrolet spokesman Chad Lyons told Green Car Reports that not even one percent of the 2014 Impalas purchased were the Eco model. So Chevy is trying something different. With a seamless driving experience in mind, the new Impala's stop-start tech features software that governs under what conditions the feature will activate. The engine won't shut off if the car has not reached a speed of six miles per hour, so the start-stop won't be cycling during traffic jams. It can also fire the starter even if the engine has not come to a full stop, which quickens reaction time, particularly in instances of what Chevrolet calls "change-of-mind events." The stop-start function uses information about cabin temperature and humidity as well as battery charge to help determine whether or not to shut off the engine. The 2015 Impala has been engineered to reduce NVH, which will also help create a smoother stop-start experience for occupants, Chevy says. Motor mounts have been updated, and a burlier starter motor will help restart the engine after a stop. The Impala follows the 2014 Malibu as Chevrolet's second vehicle to feature stop-start tech. The four-cylinder model currently makes up over 30 percent of Impala sales. The 2015 Impala will be available beginning this summer, with a base MSRP of $27,735 (including destination charges). And while one MPG isn't a huge difference, neither is the price increase of just $50 for a bit of eco-minded innovation. Read on for more details in the press release below. Chevrolet Makes Stop/Start Standard in 2015 Impala Technology improves city fuel economy by 5 percent 2014-05-22 DETROIT – Stop/start technology will be standard on the 2015 Impala base 2.5-liter ECOTEC® engine, an addition that improves the vehicle's city fuel economy by nearly 5 percent, or one mile per gallon.

MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon

Sat, Jun 20 2015

MotorWeek's Retro Review series gives us a nostalgic look back at some of the best sports cars and luxury sedans available in the 1980s and '90s. For its latest clip, the show shifts gears to remember the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Similar to the success of crossovers today, SUVs were tallying big sales and making big money for automakers in the mid-'90s. The Tahoe and Yukon filled slots in the market as steps down from the larger Suburban. These twins weren't wanting for space, though, with plenty of room to haul around a family. MotorWeek came away generally impressed too, and called the models some "of the better riding sport utilities we've ever experienced." This review comes with some jazzy, electric guitar licks to enjoy in the background.

Chevy's 6.6-liter Duramax is pretty much all new

Thu, Sep 29 2016

To say there's a heated battle in heavy-duty pickups is an understatement, with Chevrolet, Ford, and Ram constantly trading blows of increased torque, horsepower, and towing capacity. The latest salvo is the revised, more powerful turbo diesel 6.6-liter Duramax V8 in the 2017 Chevy Silverado. It has 910 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 145, putting it nearly level with the Ford Super Duty. Here's a closer look at where those gains come from. How exactly did Chevrolet add all that torque plus 48 horsepower? The automaker essentially took a fine-tooth comb to the entire engine. Chevy says it changed 90 percent of the V8, and the cumulative effect of those small changes adds up to big increases. As you might guess, the turbocharger is updated. The larger unit features electric actuation of the variable nozzle turbine (VNT), and what Chevy calls a double axle cartridge mechanism that separates the VNT moving parts from the housing. That helps with heat performance as well, with a claim that the exhaust side of the turbo can run continuously up to 1,436 degrees Fahrenheit. Helping that cause are six exhaust gaskets made of Inconel - an nickel alloy that contains chromium and iron – and upgraded stainless steel for the exhaust manifold. Despite having the same cast iron cylinder block, albeit with some minor enhancements, the engine has new cylinder heads, pistons, piston pins, connecting rods, and crankshaft, which have all been upgraded to handle 20 percent higher cylinder pressures. Alongside the increase in pressure, Chevrolet also increased the cylinder head's structure with a honeycomb design. The pattern features high-strength aluminum with dual layer water jackets that not only improve strength, but also optimize water flow for better cooling. For 2017, the cylinder head also benefits from integrated plenum that aids the engine in getting more air under heavy loads. The cylinder head isn't the only component to get a minor update, as the pistons have a larger diameter pin for improved oil flow. The same detailed improvements has been bestowed to the humble connecting rods (second in our hearts only to the inanimate carbon rod). The new design has the bolts oriented roughly 45-degrees to the rod instead of parallel. The angle split design, as it's called allows for easier passage through the cylinder.
