383 5.7L V8 - TH400 Automatic - FlowMaster - Edelbrock

     

Garage Kept. a lot of work has gone into making this a unique muscle car worthy of brandishing the SS tag
and turning heads as more than just your average 71' Chevelle. While everyone else is trying to keep their classic
as close to the factory image of the vehicle. we've worked to envision a meaner. more aggressive experience while
keeping that unmistakable Chevelle beauty.

The chassis is nearly perfect. with only miniscule traces of rusting that is unpreventable from age and the natural
elements without slapping waterproofing paint on the undercarriage which makes the overall chassis heavier than
we wanted. so we decided to simply keep it clean and dry in a maintained environment. which has worked
great to keep any signs of rust down to almost nothing.

The engine is a brand new Chevrolet Small Block 350 bored out to a 383 stroker and has approximately 500
miles of drive time on it.  Stock TH400 automatic three speed transmission is what's cranking the rear axle and
the original dash and display from the 1971 Chevelle SS396 is present in the interior. A wood grain three
spoke GT steering wheel has been added for easier turning. The car does come equipt with the stock power
steering system for better handling and boasts a cleaner engine bay and lighter wet weight having removed the
AC and heater units. after all. this car was designed for maximum speed and torque for that unmistakable
exhilaration when you step on the gas.

This Chevelle is covered in factory Electric Blue with dual Onyx Black racing stripes across the hood and
trunk lids.  The interior sports stock black leather seats and door covering with black carpeted floors
throughout. The seatbelts have been replaced with Cobra 4-point harnesses.  From the Cowl Induction hood
to the Edelbrock chromed out carburetor to the 3. 31:1 ~ 12-bolt Positraction (CF) and deep chest rumbling
bass of the dual FlowMaster exhaust and SunPro triple gauge cluster. this car intimidates the moment it
touches the blacktop.

There is some work left to be done and while this car is road worthy and approximately 90% complete. br> small weekend projects would be all it takes to bring the car to 100% completion such as minor wiring
(horn is not connected to horn button). the fuel pump switch is not wired into the steering column (a
separate switch for the horn and fuel pump is mounted close to the column). The oil pan gasket needs
to be replaced (very easy). it needs a new master brake cylinder (the brakes work but not ideally) and
the serpent belt assembly needs to be tweaked a little (can be done in one weekend easily).
The peg that points to the car's current gear when the gear shift is used is not connected and needs to
be re-attached to the shift cable).  and that's it. everything else is complete. the trim work. the motor
work. the transmission work. the interior. everything else has been completed. k     Specs
