Sleeper Bel Air!

This weekend on PowerBlock Courtney will feature this sleek, black ’65 Bel Air. It looks harmless, but this baby has some mojo under the hood! It’s packing a Chevy 502 big block with a 850 Holley carb and lot’s of GM Performance parts. It makes 510 horsepower! The unsuspecting color is DuPont “Croma-One Black”. The stock red cloth interior is clean and crisp, but the original three on the tree was swapped out for a Tremec TKO five speed. It rolls on stock Chevy wheels and BFG’s the way they looked back in the day. The car was originally restored by Ron Lynch. New owner Donald Brinson says driving it makes him feel like he’s 16 again. Now what more would you want form a car? Check it out on PowerBlock May 25th & 26th.

2001 Dodge Ram, 5.3 Magnum 5 Replies

I am wondering how much bolt on horsepower I can get out of this without redoing the short block. Anyone have any opinions? Anyone know how strong the crank and pistons are?

Powerblock are they scared of building real mopars or anything else?

 



In my personal feelings and opinion yes they are, especially Horsepower. I have yet to see them build a real Mopar, B.O.P., and Cad. even Ford's get shunned. It's always Chevy Chevy and some more Chevy. It really don’t take too much know how to, to do a…

You'll be seeing green this weekend as Courtney features "Jaded", the 1966 Mustang restored by our very own Kevin Tetz from Trucks! He got the car back in 2002 and for a while thought it was beyond rescue, but look at it now! It has an '04 Cobra supercharged 4.6 engine with an Eaton blower that makes around 600 horsepower. Kevin wanted to marry modern performance and…
