What are you doing to your chevelle this winter?

Let's see if I can remember it all. After finally getting the car "done" in July, I had oil pressure issues at 200 miles, as in it dropped to nearly zero. Pulled the engine out, and the body shop dust from the pan being off for 5 days toasted all the bearings....so it was rebuilt, mostly just the machine work, rings, bearings, new oil pump, etc., and TONS of cleaning every single part.

I didn't like the weak gearset in the ST-10 or the synchros not wanting to shift at 6K RPM in the one trip to the track I made. A Jerico DR4 is now in its place with a Long Vertigate Shifter.

The 10 bolt would also not last with slicks at the track, and was a planned upgrade...so the S60 shows up Monday sometime from Strange Engineering.

I had lightly used Dynomax UltraFlo 3" race mufflers w/14" case on the car, but on the hour trip to the track and another hour trip back, I had a serious headache each way. Out they came, and the new Dynomax Super Turbos will also be here Monday, as well as the tailpipes I planned on putting on but never bought when I ran out of pipe on the first install.

The one thing that definitely had to come out was the Hurst Line Lock button, that sucker was the loudest thing in the car!!! On the freeway, it rattled away louder than the mufflers. It was promply cut out a few weeks ago, and a new momentary switch w/coil wire relocated to the steering wheel.

Still on the dockett list is a true anti-roll bar, drag wheels/slicks and installing the timing retard modules. After that, I think I'm done....for awhile. It's been an expensive winter.

I'll be putting my summit racing brand 2-1/2" exhaust cutouts in and fabricating some sort of cable-operated actuator to open/close them from inside the car somewhere. Also, I am going to continue tuning my sbc and driving all winter as much as I can. Hopefully, I can get the floor console built and put my new sound system in too. Every time I work on the thing, I find two or three little things that need to be addressed too.
