Default It's official..750 HP!!

Well friends, I have a big announcement. Due to the never ending quest for more power, I took the big step...sold the Vette! I had mixed emotions about selling her, but the C6 is just around the corner. I now have a 55 Pro-Street Chevy Pick-up sitting on a full Morrison chassis. She has all the good stuff.. including a Dyers blown 502 (750 HP). As it just arrived last night, I haven't had the chance to sort it out yet, but it's a beast :eek: I'll post some pics in a few days. If you guys don't mind a "former" Vette owner hanging around, I'll still continue to visit the Forum & keep up with the Vette community. Don

Don,

This is Tonyr from the Chevelle forum. You owe me big time for pushing you!

Congrats on your beautiful 55. Please post pictures when you get a chance.

I sold the 454 and the 540 BB will be completed soon. I too will feel the 502 Big Block power. Oh yeah, I love being blown too :D

I too will get a C6. By that time, my soon to be baby will be one year old. Got one year to save up for the C6 :)

See you in the Chevelle forum. I still lurk around here though.

Not a bad move if your quest is C6. Kinda fun to mix it up a little with something radical like a well done street rod while you wait. :cheers:

lets see some good pics of your new ride.

Thanks Tony. Yep, I owe this all to you. After seeing your Chevelle, I knew I had to have a blown big block. The 55 has a ways to go to look as good as your Chevelle, but that will give me something to do over the winter. :chevy
