New to the site and saying, Hello !
bfalfa55:
Yeah this car I want to be streetable. We may build something race only in the future. The 265 is for the "dare to be different' part of me. Trying to be a bit Nostalgic but still use more modern parts to see how well it will run. A large amount of work was done to this 265, fully balanced, decked, align bored, According to the build info., it is good for 10,000 RPM. I won't be any place close to that.
I look forward to being part of the site. I sent a link to it for a friend of mine who is rebuilding his dad's old Alcohol Funny Cars fro the late 70's and he is also building an FED that is planned to be running for this season.

Welcome to the sight Bob Falfa! 8) Still looking for the yellow Deuce? Nothing wrong with a 265. We used to have a guy at my local track back in the 70s that ran a 265 powered 55 Chevy in Super Stock. He would leave the line at 10,500 and shift it there after at 10-5 hanging the front hoops in each gear! As you said, your probably not gonna hit those high RPMs but let it rip and have fun!

Thanks Mr. Froggy. It should be a fun build and fun to drive. When it gets warmer here, I will get to work and keep posting updates,

Here is a car pic. I will have to resize some more. Little story about the not finished, cobbled paint job. We used the front end of my car painted this way as a prop for my sons high school play rendition of "GREASE" a few years ago.
