66 DiBella (means of the beautiful) - Page 11 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jacfourteen · 12-04-2010, 04:34 AM

I was moving some stuff around the other day in my bedroom and found the street trucks mag with 2nd chance on the cover and was telling my wife about your builds and how you have Bob Grant's Kustoms doing work on your 66. She asked me if I know who that is and I told her the name was familiar from mags, then she told me "that's Tracy's husband". My wife has known his wife forever (Tracy was her babysitter when she was a kid), and Tracy fitted me for my tux when I went to prom in HS. So then I realized I met Bob a few times, when I went to their old house to fix their well pump (used to service them). Just figured I'd tell the story, guess its a small world (or small town in my case

). Anyways can't wait for you to get it back so we can see some more progress. I hope you get it done by show season so I can see it around.

Thanks for the story you are right it is a small world. Bob is a super nice guy. Very soft spoken guy and very good at what he does.

WOW! Another great build. Can't wait to see the '40 painted also!

**superflysteiny** · 12-05-2010, 12:30 PM

My buddy from Indiana owns a shop called Jasada speed shop. He will be painting it. Ppg wants it for sema just need to come up with the 25000 for the motor.

man I'd loan it to you but I would have to come up with $24,800....that's a lot for a motor

**superflysteiny** · 12-05-2010, 04:41 PM

Not when you are talking about a 600 cubic inch blown ford boss motor. The whipple 4.0 with intercooler injection is 8000, heads are 8000 and the the block is 2500, it adds up real quick. Sure a chevy big block could be built for 20000 but every one has a chevy not everyone has a blown boss. This ford should make top 100 in the country if I do it right

well your a dentist how many implants do you have to do? lol

Ipaintgrt · 12-06-2010, 06:19 AM

Your plans for your 66 is to put a ford in it? Isn't that sacrilege? Defined:The violation or profanation of anything sacred or held sacred? I would think you could come up with a cool chevy engine, but put a twist on it with some Hemi heads or 4 valve per cylinder or something exotic like that, rather than go with a ford in your chevy. No offense, I really admire your work. Scott

Yeah, I'd like to know the reasoning behind this as well. Just curious though, no disrespect.

no sorry the guts are talking about my 1940 ford coupe deluxe

**superflysteiny** · 12-06-2010, 01:36 PM

Just to clear somethings up I would never put a ford motor in my chevy truck. The 66 is getting a built 350. My 1940 ford is getting the blown 600 cubic inch boss. I would never put a chevy in a ford and I would never put a ford in a chevy. Sorry for all the confussion.

jonzcustomshop · 12-06-2010, 10:52 AM

what about one of those new repro 409's ?
although even if you put a ford in it we are still way ahead of the game, there are a ton of fords out there with sbc in 'em

**youngrodder** · 12-06-2010, 01:48 PM

I was following along.....Make sense to me. Ford in a ford. Chevy in a Chevy. Did I miss pictures of your 40 Ford? I have always wanted a 48 Ford Coupe slammed way down on air.

Keep up the drillin and filling in order to keep the progress coming.....

man, that story sucks about barrett jackson. i watch that show all the time and never would have guessed they would treat someone like that. congrats on the top 10 too, thats one hell of an accomplishment considering the millions of customs that get turned out every year.

I hear you on that, thats why I have not paid for the motor yet. I want to build a top 100 car with the ford so I cant just put a small block chevy in it. The motor has to be special in this car. I am getting a deal on this motor, most engine builders would charge 30 50 for this motor. It will make 900 hp on 91 with out breaking a sweat. 1600hp on race fuel

Mad Rods · 12-06-2010, 11:33 PM

I thought "second chance" was sold. Unless the pics of the 40 in the garage are older pics......just wondering

For sure don't want to sound like I am complaining because I am not but it is just expensive. But nice things cost money.

i didn't take it as complaining and nice things do cost especially when one is not willing to settle for thats good enough

**67cheby** · 12-08-2010, 10:18 AM
