[@ElvinLeadfoot]

It’s totally awesome. Including the interior. Thanks for showing the car She’s awesome

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Thank you sir she is definitely a special lady

[@DerredmaxTRIAX]

That is beautiful, every part of this especially granny!

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

@@DerredmaxTRIAX thank you!

[@ElvinLeadfoot]

Beautiful Car Take good care of your grandmothers car. It’s priceless really. All of the labor that was put into the car. God Bless

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Yes sir I definitely will

[@jimcollier7869]

Really great car, and story. Don't change the red velvet!

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Thank you! I'm pretty sure it's not going anywhere!

[@tcatman1000]

That lady’s got more class than most of the country.

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

@tcatman1000 yup she is one of a kind!

[@tcatman1000]

It’s beautiful as it is.

[@romans8forging181]

Love it! I say keep it the way it is. Maybe even go back to the wires but without white letter tires.

[@Zero_thehero]

Interior is pure fire 🔥 it’s gotta stay! Was your grandma the CEO of the factory 😂❤😂

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

@@Zero_thehero she might as well be. She has been there for 48 years

[@rzmod4766]

I got goosebumps when i heard her tell her story!!

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Yep she is a special lady for sure!

[@dannyallen1615]

I don’t do to much upgrading. Looks great.

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Thank you!

[@ElvinLeadfoot]

You have the ultimate intake manifold already for a high torque build. You just need the correct ported heads, and correct carburetor. Which will be a vac secondary Holley too. Duel plane manifold needs more CFM because each side of the intake draws from only two barrels of the carb. That’s how you get the low end torque for street engines

[@COLLAR01]

had a 74 with exactly the same effects and offroad pipes sporting a 12.5:1 454, black on black, and fuctional cold air box

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Awesome bet the big block was fun in that car!

[@ScramjetNY]

Howdy Dylan. Joe here from Binghamton NY and a recent subscriber to your cool channel. You truly knocked it out of the park with this video. Your Grandmother's Hot Box Vette is beyond amazing and your video really does this car justice. I especially loved the interview with your Grandmother and that beautiful sunset drive! BTW the S24 Ultra footage looks great - I watched this on a new 65in OLED. I've been rocking a S24 Ultra myself for a few months now and am glad I made the upgrade.

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Hello joe! Thanks for your feedback and kind words! It's much appreciated!

[@LORDS-SWORD]

Cool car granny!! Remember. JESUS NEVER FAILS ❤

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Amen 🙏

[@ElvinLeadfoot]

Example 300hp with 400 ft lbs of torque. Would make that car unbelievable dangerously fast. Scary fast

[@ElvinLeadfoot]

Build a 383 SBC With the right heads and cam. Then you can use your stock converter and gears. Use your air gap manifold The right boosters in the carb. Because of no heat crossover with the air gap manifold. The hood is beautiful. Don’t cut or change the hood Make it all tuck under the hood you have now:)

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

This is great advice! The car would definitely be alot more fun with a bit more horsepower

[@holdenc3082]

Corvette Summer.

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

We have heard that reference a time or two!

[@jennifertesterman4440]

Interior has to stay!! It’s apart of her history! I remember the story of getting it installed! Will have to tell you about it!

[@jennifertesterman4440]

As for the wire wheels a whole lot of years of tooth brushes! 😂 and that gold blower a lot of pushing!

[@ElvinLeadfoot]

David Vizard and Andy Wood built a 400 SBC That has 500hp on pump gas. With a mild small roller cam. 500 tq - 500hp With cast iron heads Use cast iron heads too, because they make more known end torque. (Thermal Efficiency)

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

You've definitely got me thinking about it nice small block Chevrolet build

[@CerebralPrimate]

It would have been awesome if ya had the old pix to show... first purchased, first red & white paint, etc... just to illustrate the evolution of the car.

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Actually post filming this video my mom showed me some that she has so subscribe and ill show them in a future video!

[@Cman74]

Whisper the words of wisdom, let it be, let it be.

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Definitely words of wisdom!

[@ElvinLeadfoot]

It’s a 128 formula, that calculates the proper cam grind. David Vizard - KZbin Then save that engine as a show piece.

[@based_ukulele]

You got plenty of room to work with without chopping up that gorgeous hood, also, plz don't change the interior

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Interior I believe is here to stay!

[@ElvinLeadfoot]

Rule of thumb You need 100 cubic in. For every 100 lbs of car 3600lbs car 383 stroker

[@kennyloveday]

Leave the motor! Nice car I was 17teen in 1977.

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Thank you!

[@Johnnycdrums]

What happened to the sound system? Those speakers look fine, and I bet it sounded great. Ford guy here, and I love this car as is.

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

@Johnnycdrums I'm definitely a ford guy as well but it's a great car. As for the sound system I'm not 100% sure. Could just be some loose connections but it's on our list of things to fix

[@ElvinLeadfoot]

Leave the engine alone too. Drive her like she is now. Note - study David Vizard on proper cam grind selection. You can build a mild cam 400ft pound torque 5.7 that’s economical and street drivable … Proper head posting technique and can selection. Cause you want to be able to use the stock torque converter.

[@cameronjohnston5748]

Don't go chopping that up mate, it has just enough done to it. Lot's of others have done the modernisation thing but that's quite original, and it's family. Get another to do the mods on. From an Australian view point.

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Never thought a aussie would recommend I not put a blower out the hood lol but seriously your right I'm not sure I could cut it up.

[@jennifertesterman4440]

This car has a history and most known and remembered for the woman who is still hidden under the hood! The car association made her paint over her to stay competitive! Couldn’t have families gawking at those big tatas!!

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

I should have interviewed you with all the stories that you have about this car maybe we'll have to do that in a future video but I totally forgot about the woman under the hood

[@Bitcoin-Carnivore]

if your ever interested in selling this please reach out! love this gem. thanks

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Selling it has been brought up but I doubt she would have the heart to let it go but thank you!

[@Johnnycdrums]

@@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails ; If you have to change the engine, I think it deserves something light and racy. Not some low RPM big block truck motor.

[@Highrollers_Roads_N_Rails]

Thats why we were thinking LS but the big block idea was so we could go for a pro street style look and have the blower coming out of the hood. Still undecided ​@Johnnycdrums
