Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
I think you'll be needing those wide rear tires....

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
You might need some of them little tires on the back.....
The ones that keep the front wheels from getting too far off the ground. . |

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
GEEEZ! I thought I was goin to have a healthy motor...That's goin to be a head snatcher there...Yea! I think your goin to need to recess the fire wall on this one and squeeze it in (there will be some head scratchin goin on.lol) but it can be done. Iam diffidently impressed , Nice motor!
If this guy can do it... hell ,you can.. note the fire pushed back about 4" or so just below the drip rail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moge2R0XvAk |

Yea I figure whatever I have to do to get it in will just have to be done. But that comes first then the rest of the truck can be built around that engine and drive-train placement.

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
WOW with all the new parts coming in, I gotta get some more work done on this thing. Got all my roll cage parts last week from ChassisWorks, motor mounts are here, radiator mounts are here, dash filler, .... time to get it going again after all this 'holiday' time off....
My body guy bailed on me cause he's just too busy with all the idiots crashing cars in this rainy weather. Insurance is much bigger business than hot rodding I guess! so may just end up being a primered rat truck for awhile. onwards!

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
Wow so sorry ptc just read your whole build. How did I not read about your sweet truck before, this thing will be a killer everywhere it goes. Building the truck around the motor and drive-train will work out just fine, It worked out for me.

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
Thanks guys for checking it out.... this is a cool new area of performance I am delving into, so I am truly excited about seeing what this thing can do.
Again- This whole thing came off a '69 Camaro with a 540" BBC and was operational as equipped. It dynoed (car dyno) out at just under 1000hp at the rear wheels using its smallest pulley at max boost they could get about 30 psi. So thats right around 1300-1400 on the engine (considering a 40% drop to the wheels.) He took the whole thing off to tame it down for his wife to drive as a daily driver.... a 540" daily driver???? Im putting this on a 509" basically stock forged rotating assembly with upgraded ARP2000 everything holding it all together. It will be running alum Brodix BB2 320cc heads with a custom hyd roller cam for a range of about 2000-6200 rpm. High psi oil and fuel pumps, MSD ignition the works.... Expectations are an engine dyno (at max boost) of possibly 1200hp and that would be about 720-750hp at the wheels..... with the std pulley on it at only 10psi it should make about 900hp on the engine dyno. These are expectations only. We will find out soon enough. The rotating assembly is the only weak point above 1000 hp so if I boost it all the way its only going to be for SOME fun runs at the track maybe once or twice to see what it can do.....

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
Awesome setup. I'm excited to see numbers. If you have troubles with the carb after it gets together, call kevin at CSU carbs. The guy is the best with blowthru carbs. He did mine, and here in a few month or so I should be hitting the rollers hoping for 1000 to the tire as well with my 50. Good luck with it!

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
That looks like a nice little turbo to me
Looking forward to see it in the enginebay and what numbers you get out of it on the dyno!!

Well I got this THING all mocked up onto the dummy block so I could fit it into the engine bay with the radiator and then get an idea of where the new motor mounts were going to be welded into place. And then how much to cut out of the firewall. Had to re-string a line to get all my measurements, angles and level all over again, so that its all in correct from front bearing housing all the way to the rear yoke. So the pics are: #1 of the SC mounted on the front of the BBC, #2 is the modified LS motor mounts with the Prothane bushings that go onto the block, #3 shows the block from underneath with the modified mounts that will weld directly onto the K frame. #4 shows the mount and brackets close-up. Everything is welded into place now and ready to go. The firewall is cut out.... guess the wifes wheelbarrow is going to be put to use!!! --- and I already got permission!
