That's pretty close to what I did to mine, ecept I went with the 375 hp solid lifter cam. My '55 was a straight axle gasser, and she would pull the front wheels about 6" at launch, and did low 12's in the 1/4. What a blast until some dirt bag stole it. Never saw it again.
My 283 would grab 7 grand so fast it would scare me! And with a 2 bolt main too.

 

yeah i bet that 55 chevy was a blast to drive,i like them little cars

 

anybody have an old tore up dash from a 70-78 camaro,im gonna be building a custom fiberglass dash,them dashes are hard to come by,i just need a junk one,hopefully one with a air dash thats gonna be where my gauges go.

 

There are three junkyards over here that have at least 20 cars between them. I would be more than happy to give you the nickle tour of all of them.

 

that would be awesome damon,im gonna have to make it that way soon.then i can see ur sweet camaro in person.

 

No problem, we have probly 10 junk yards or so in the area. From Grand Haven up to near Michigans Adventure.

 

yeah i love rumaging thru junk yards always did never know what u might find
