My old 56 Chevy

This is a 56 I bought in 2004 and owned for a short time. It had been an old drag car, with a narrowed early Olds rear end (4.88 gears and a spool), Alston coil-over rear suspension, and a 10-point r

The 327 out of my 55 Chevy. I freshened it up with the heads rebuilt, a hot new Comp Extreme Energy cam, and a new high volume oil pump. I'd been running a Muncie 4 speed with it in my 55, but the 56 had a race-built 400 turbo with a 3500 stall converter. The 56 had 4.88 gears with a spool. It made for a car that was fun around town and for short drives, but not much good for long trips or highway use.

56 Chevy Engine Swap. Just getting ready to pull the 427 big block. The plan was to freshen the 427 and install in my 55 Chevy, take the 327 from my 55 and freshen it up, clean up a few details on the 56 and have some fun with it, then sell it, taking any profit to rebuild the 427. The 427 had some good stuff in it, but the block and been damaged, probably from a clutch explosion, and welded up, plus it was already bored .060. Heads were amateur ported to the max, so I didn't want to use 'em. Cam had wiped out, which was why the previous owner sold the car in the first place. I ended up finding a 454 in parts, and building that instead.

9 15 04 Interior view. The roll cage was 10-point, with removable swing-out side bars. Made it nearly impossible to get into the back seat.
