Generally speaking when a seller says "350/350' they are describing the CI/ trans combo

Chevy did make many different HP levels of the same CI. The 350 for example had 250/300/350/360 HP numbers starting in late '69

The 350 and 400 auto trans numbers indicated a rating of 350 or 400 lbs/tq level of safe
operation

When I see xxx/xxx I'm initially thinking CI/HP. Only some GM cars use the 350 or 400 turbo trannys. So unless I see xxx/350 or xxx/400, it means CI/HP

Ford and Mopar isn't an issue unless that Dodge is making 727 HP. :)

Thank you for all the kind comments. This color is the original Mist Blue Metalic. I re-did everything but tried to keep it stock looking. The suspension is Air Ride Technologies so I can adjust the ride height and she handles pretty good. The brakes are new model discs and I don't know if you could tell, but those wheels are 17" to fit the bigger brakes. I called Lingenfelter and got and engine that will run at 7500 rpms for 200 hours. 50,000 mile warranty. The dyno says 547hp at the wheels. Equal torque figure. 5 speed backs it up. Less than 9 seconds to 100mph, even with me driving. Nice to know I'm not the only Porsche/Chevrolet guy out there.
Back on topic.....these cars are great as investments (for money and for youself). And they make me feel good, is there anything else?http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1240449629.jpg

Wow, sounds like pure sex. My first car was a '65 Impala (older than I was). Nothing special, 2 door, 350 2bbl from a junk yard by the previous owner, but it did have a 4 spd and 4.10 gears, so it was quicker than a lot of stuff on the road in the late 80's. It was a similar color to yours but a bit darker. I miss that car, good times.

When I bought my 911 my plan had been to get an old Chevelle and update the suspension and brakes and go with a crate motor and A/C. I went the 911 route when I found out I could afford one. I'm glad I did, but I still want another old Chevy some day (and another Porsche or two).

Pretty cars in this thread. I wish I still had my 65 Mustang. Someday I'd like to buy a 65/66 fastback with no collector value (6 cyl 3 spd) and hop it up mercilessly.

Really liking the green Chevelle--vinyl top and all. I like the fact that it is not sporting an "SS" grille, badging, and stripes--seen waaaay too many cheaply done clones.

JLC, your Chevelle is stunning. Personally those are my favorite muscle cars, those that are modern enough to enhance the drive but keep the original look and character of the original.

Engine compartmet looks pretty rough. If you were going through motions of putting in a new motor, wouldn't you spend a few extra bucks and get valve covers/air filter cover. Huh.

No big deal... it might be something you can use to your favor in bargaining, though.

songhoh? The prettiest Chevelle I've seen...and the mechanicals sound like a dream rod. Seriously, you ought to send pics to HOT ROD...
