CLASSIC MUSCLE CAR

by Cliff Mansfield

1965 Chevelle Malibu SS

This car is powered by a 1967 Corvette 427 with a Tri-Power carb system. We used Edelbrock aluminum heads, Hooker 2.25 x 4" headers, a Crower solid roller cam with 290 degrees duration at .050. Those of you who know engines know that this is one wild cam. This is a 9.8:1 motor that makes a mountain of horsepower. We built a Super Case M-22 and used a triangulated Ford 9" in the rear with 4:11 gears and a Detroit Locker.
