Welcome to OutCast's Clubhouse.

 Come for an in-car-ride at 118 mph at Pinks All Out.  Just click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqmUvhf-mO0

 

Spent a weekend in August running at Pinks All Out at Pacific Raceways in Kent, WA.It was a ton of fun and got to run against some very nice cars.  I didn't make the cut, but did run a best of 11.02 @ 118 mph.

  Thanks to Matt at AIR INK CUSTOM PAINT AND HOBBY for laying down the wicked splash job.

There are some sick racing videos on page 2, and some music videos on each page

This build-up is a resurrection of a 1968 Chevelle SS knockoff.
This 40 year old 2 door was rescued from dying a slow death in a farmer's field.

I'm 4 years into this ground up drag strip rebuild.

And I've had much help along the way. BIG THANKS to the awesome crew at Team Chevelle. Check out the BEST Chevelle site on the web @ Team Chevelle

The engine is a 454 Big Block Chevy bored .040 for a total of 463 cubes. It uses Keith Black domed pistons and a fully balanced rotating assembly.  I ported and polished the 781 heads and added 1.88 and 2.19 stainless valves.  Crane gold roller rockers, a Lunati solid lift cam and dual valve springs help it breathe a little better.

ARP bolts are used throughout to hold things together. An Edelbrock Victor Jr intake and an 800 Holley Double Pumper with Proform body meter the fuel

 Just for kicks, I've added a 150 HP shot of nitrous to keep things exciting.

The horsepower is channelled into a deep pan Turbo 400 packed full of B&M hardware.  A street and strip Transpak is connected to a B&M Megashifter.  I just installed a Redneck 4500 converter.  Should help the 60 ' times.  A TCI trans shield should help keep things together in the event of a catastrophe.

Out back, the power is laid down through a GM 12 bolt with a Moroso Brute Strength posi unit. Richmond 4.10 gears and a T/A diff cover with carrier supports finish it off.  However, this is being upgraded to a Strange spool and 33 spline axles with 4.11 gears this winter.

                          Thanks to Randy's Ring and Pinion for building it right.

Just finished the exhaust system off. Went with Flo-Tech cut-outs into 3" pipe straight back into 3" Dynomax Welded Ultraflows then into 3" turndowns. Sounds badass.  This winter Hooker Competition 2" primary headers will replace the 1 7/8" Flotech's.

The Competition Engineering 10 point roll cage looks good and is built to handle a wild ride. Thanks to my good bud and highly skilled welder, Cal.

The installation of the RCI 5 point cam lock harness adds another measure of safety and performance.  I have new lightweight racing buckets that have yet to be installed.

The front end is a one piece fiberglas unit. Mounted on a home engineered hinge and bracket assembly, it tilts out of the way for easy access.The scoop is a vintage L88 Corvette replica, helping the 454 breathe a little easier with it's 4" cowl opening.

This Chevelle is badass! I can see why you nicknamed it The Punisher. Really like that hood covering that sweeet 463, it's beastly! You and your friends have some really nice cars, with your chevelle and the Nova and the GS. 5 stars for sure!
