Hello all,
My name is Mike and I live in near Columbus, Ohio and NO I'm not a buckeye, I'm originally from Michigan so I'm a Wolverine...Go Blue!!! I retired a few years back after 32 yrs in the Navy and my retirement gift to ME is the 64 Belvedere I bought a few weeks ago. It looks like a Max Wedge clone, nicely restored both top and underneath, majority of the work has been done but still needs minor things to finish both inside and outside. I'm still trying to gather info about the car, the guy I bought it from had it about 2 yrs but isn't much of a gear head so he doesn't know a lot about it. The previous owner is the one who restored/rebuilt it about 6 yrs ago. Here's what I've been told so far: 500ci wedge has a cross ram and Edlebrock heads with 2.14/1.81 valves. The cam is a Comp hyd cam with the following specs: lift .519 I .524 E duration 294/306 center line 106 and 110 lobe separation (there's more on the cam sheet if anyone wants additional info). The internals are from 440 Source...crank, rods and pistons. Headers are 2" primary into 3 1/2 collectors (not sure of the brand yet) and a 3" press bent exhaust (will be replaced). Not sure what if any work has been done to the trans but there is a higher stall converter in there, my guess about 3500-4000 stall. Rear is a Dana 60 with 4.10 gears I think it must a Detroit locker based on how it chirps going around a corner. Also has Cal-trac bars I've seen them before but not yet familiar enough with them to even try and make any adjustments.
I've got a few questions about the car but I'll try and search the archives before I start a new thread. I have owned in the past and currently own Mopars. I had a 66 Charger that I rebuilt with a 440 6 pack, a 09 SRT8 Charger and currently my wife and I own a 2011 Ram 1500 with a Hemi and a 2012 300s with a Hemi. Thanks for reading my rambling introduction and feel free to offer comments as well as suggestions, I look forward to learning more and hopefully talking and meeting fellow enthusiasts.
