Thanks for sharing, when I was young in AZ we used to race at PIR yeah a few years ago 😂

[@tackettshoh]

Lol. Yep that was a few years back. AZ use to have several places to race. B line highway. Speedworld. Now we are down to just Firebird and Tucson. Thank you for watching and commenting!!

[@rmac3x]

Great video one thing on one car down that's called progress.

[@tackettshoh]

Exactly!! I try to get something done on one of the cars! Every chance I get! Lol! Thank you for watching and commenting!!

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

That's a really good looking nova panel wagon or sedan deliver whatever they called them I don't remember ever seeing one before nice.

[@tackettshoh]

Thanks. I call it a delivery. It’s a 65 nova wagon. I converted to a two door with real two door doors and B pillars. I built it with a friend of mine back in 1998. Chevy never made a two door nova wagon.

[@chrisrichards1339]

Sounds good man. The footage from the exhaust shop of down n dirty running gave a better idea of what it really sounds like. Almost ready to boil some tires.

[@tackettshoh]

Thanks man!! I know. I wish the audio was better!! Soon I’ll be able to rip it around. Still waiting on some parts though. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

[@jaysonmunro1407]

One step closer and looking good , I really like your 64. I chuckled when I saw your FB post in the Moroso vintage group lol I can see a set of gold moroso covers in down an dirty’s future 😬

[@tackettshoh]

Lol. It’s possible!! Thanks for watching!!

[@DonCrookwashere]

I hope the parts you need make it by the time Hot Rod Power Tour rolls around again.

[@MikeStuart-p7p]

Steve I am at the Starbird show in Tulsa this weekend my buddy has. 63 Nova SS , Tony from Nova Ranch stopped by and I was telling him I have been watching your videos I ask if he had anymore wagon’s no luck keep them coming thanks Mike

[@tackettshoh]

That’s crazy!! What a small world! Yep Tony and the nova ranch is pretty awesome. Bought lots of parts from him for a 64 I built and of course he sold me okie!! Tony is the man!! Thanks for watching!!!

[@richardschultz6522]

From granby connecticut steve another great video love it keep it coming. You don't sound like you're originally from arizona. I spent a couple years at luke air force bace. Love the weather out there. Thanks

[@tackettshoh]

Thank you! I’m kinda from all over. Born in Texas then moved to Kentucky, Alabama, then San Francisco then San Diego. Then Phoenix. Growing up spent my summers in Florida and Alaska. 😳😳

[@OneMoreBolt]

Such a shame that the camera botched the audio, no doubt it sounds good. Looking forward to seeing some burnout footage of this beast.

[@tackettshoh]

I know… I need better equipment…. Hopefully this next week. I’ll get some driving time. Thank you for watching and commenting!!

[@OneMoreBolt]

@@tackettshoh the audio is hard with loud cars. I've been trying to get it sorted for a while now. Sadly good audio equipment is more expensive than good camera equipment and car parts, sooo, I stick to the car parts. haha I'll be watching for that road test video.

[@tackettshoh]

@@OneMoreBolt lol…… car parts or new equipment…… that’s always going to be a tough one for me!!! Lol!

[@JerryMoody-vu7ut]

Awesome sound love that Chevelle would you be willing to sell it I know how to get to Arizona

[@tackettshoh]

Thank you!! I don’t know if I’d sell it. You’d have to clear that with Sarah!!! 🤣🤣 Thanks for watching!!

[@JerryMoody-vu7ut]

I understand Brother LOL But i do love that car it is so awesome and you did a great job building it

[@tackettshoh]

@@JerryMoody-vu7ut thank you Jerry! I appreciate that!

[@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852]

I must be to old because that is way to loud.😁 If the 383 isn't enough, install a 700R4. I lowered my QM time by a whole second swapping to that transmission. Just remember it's a medium duty transmission that can be built to handle 600 HP and torque somewhat affordable. Not sure how the higher rated ones hold up? Gearing makes a big difference, the way the engine is setup for low end cruising is perfect for the 700R4. The 1-2 shift is a big RPM drop so something that has good torque right off of idle works well to compensate for that drop. Or you can mill or swap heads with a set that has smaller chambers and swap the cam if you don't want to utilize gearing for better ETs? But you're not going to get over 20 mpg with this route

[@tackettshoh]

I’ve had three 700R4s in my 69 el Camino. Mild 454 in it. They didn’t last long. I swore never again touch one of those trannys. Unless it’s a completely stock engine.

[@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852]

How fast are you planning with this car? If you're going to keep it more street than strip with no plans on a cage then it doesn't need to be any faster than 11.50 in the QM. Any faster than that then you'll need a roll bar and so on... Fully dressed in street form that car should weigh right around 3,400. At this weight with that 383 and a 700R4 you should easily be able to hit the 11.50 goal and still get 20+ mpg daily driving it.😎👍

[@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852]

@@tackettshoh Yeah, they're not suitable behind big blocks. But work great mated to a small block. Just have to make sure it has the upgrades it needs to live and the TV cable is adjusted correctly, this is very important or you'll smoke the transmission. You should only need around 450 crankshaft HP to get to 11.50 if this is your goal? I installed a 700R4 in my 1965 Impala about 15 years ago and it still runs great. And actually I ran that transmission for about 5 years behind 3 different engines in my '64 Skylark before I installed it in my Impala. So if they're built right and installed properly they will last a long time. Get the lockout converter and a switch kit and run a trans cooler, it should last a long time. If you install a cage in the car then a 4L80E or a th400 if you plan on going cage fast with it?

[@tackettshoh]

@@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852 I had the TV cable adjusted. Lock up converter on a pressure switch. $3000 transmission on that last one. Still didn’t last. I also beat the dog 💩 out of my cars though. The goals are always faster. Eventually this car will probably be caged and most likely turbo LS swapped. But we shall see.

[@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852]

@@tackettshoh Really, how many race cars do you need? I understand wanting many different classic cars to drive but not to ruin all of them by making them race cars. Street strip makes sense to me with them where they don't need to be hacked up but not having 10 race cars, that doesn't make sense.🤷 The best cars to make a race car out of is a front wheel drive turd, convert it to correct wheel drive and set it up to what drive train you want in it and race it then keep the classics road cars. IMHO. But hey, they're your cars, you can ruin every single one of them if you want to.😎👍

[@josephnaulty]

Sounds Good. Where did you get that coupler that replaced the rag joint? I'm not happy with the china one I just put on my 64.

[@tackettshoh]

It’s all aftermarket Ididit stearing column. I had to make a steering shaft and couplers. If you go back on my page I did a video on the install. Shows the whole thing.

[@darrelkinney9856]

My opinion is that a smb sounds better at 2.5 exhaust no bigger.

[@stephenscroggs1230]

Yo. Is the Edelbrock E- Street top end kit worth the 2500.00 bucks and will my stock rockers work. It a stock 350 1975era

[@tackettshoh]

$2500 for a top end for a stock 350…… short answer is…… no. For the price watch my videos on the 350 with Promax heads. I’m actually pretty happy with them.
