Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
I think "Beast" is a very close analogy! .... I put in all the fluids and just turned it over with no fire yet to get everything pumping into all the lines and such and the echo sound coming out of the headers is like a bass drum going thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump!!!! .....
its ready!

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
So.... there was a bunch of fuel that went into this thing, I pulled all the plugs out and cranked it and fuel blew out of all the cylinders. I had pulled the intake tube and cap off the carb, so when I turned it over the supercharger blew a shot of about a half a pint across my shop!!!!!!
I think it washed down the cylinders and all went into the oil, so I changed the oil all out again too just to be safe before I light this thing up. Got the new reg onto it, found a couple more leaks in the lines and got them all fixed this thing dont leak anywheres right now. I mopped down everything in the shop with soapy water and cleaned it all up. I dont want to put any spark to this thing till all the fuel vaporizes.... Ive got fans running through the entire shop to blow it out tonight. What a mess! -- I hate FUEL! good thing it was only cheapo 91 octane and not the good stuff! Gonna light this candle tomorrow!!!!

"It's ALIVE!, It's ALIVE!" You don't need bigger brakes, you need an anchor! Hey, quick question: What battery holder is that you've used mounted to the frame? I bought a drop-down from Summit and it doesn't quite fit.

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
OH WOW that sounds amazing I love the idle. There will be no question at a traffic light that you have some ponies under the hood.
