The 383 motor is mine. The car is my buddys, but yeah, it even has the back seat in it and interior,, I think we could drop a 100 pounds on that car. Really easy,
It's got a shumble which I think is a lean. Miss just about 30 feet out. If we can get that worked out. I think there's a solid .10 improvement in that alone
@@dzperformance7360 I'm guessing with that mph you are running 1/2" lines. I ran 11.60s in a 455 TA with 4.10s and a T400 with an 11" converter. Weighed 3400 lbs so probably comparable on power. I ran mine at 36" total 16 initial timing with full advance in at 2100. It's leaving good so if its not supply related it might be uncovering the rear jets and you might consider jet extensions. Could be something that simple. Ya never know.
We didn't get to see the final run? Noooo!!! Looks like it wants to get down and boogie though! Don't know how much that thing weighs, but with the right suspension tweaks, and that engine tuned up nicely, should be capable of very low 11's, high 10's (depending on atmosphere)!
You need a power glide?? My freind owns and builds the best and toughest transmission on the planet, guaranteed, as long as you don’t hold the Tran brake to long,or wreck it,or knock a hole in the pan and lose the mikes transmission oil , at mikes transmission,in palmDale California, just look him up on line, thanks tell Kristy that I sent you to get your transmission,,thanks BigAl California.
Ron over at TRC trans in Chatsworth is known for building unbreakable stuff. Used him since the 80s Affordable makes his own converters and backs his work up
It's my motor and it's my buddy's car. our goal is to get it to run 10.99 on the throttle, and he's got a bottle in the trunk to try to touch the high 9s . that is the plan
Good input Friend, sounds like Car Owner and Engine Owner have same thoughts as you? Nitrous was what I was thinking anyway & I thought I saw Solenoids wired up ready to go maybe, maybe not?🤙
He bought the car for next to nothing, He drove it to my shop to take me for a ride. It was blowing blue smoke. And I thought it was such a piece of s***But we put a nice motor in it and a good rear end and it's a lot of fun
I’ll take your parts car and extra parts for any 55 Chevy 2or4 door roller cars, !!!???:):)thanks just subscribed and loving it ThanksBigAlCalifornia praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
Four door and convertibles are for moms and sisters...what a waste of a fine running small block. The least you could of done is ship that girly four door up to that hippie in Saskatchewan and let him hack it into a 2 door.

Awesome video. Keep them coming. Cheers
Awesome
Thanks for sharing Nice 55 and a nice day
Let me know when it comes up for sale
My 55 could be a real close cousin to this one,but it isnt near as fast.
Great video and a heck of a cool sleeper there. Love those 55 Chevys!
Thanks 👍
Sweet car. My car had same bog off line. Same et/mph/60' as yours. Jet extensions on secondaries cured the bog on mine.
That was on our list of things to try,, But thanks for the information,, I'll definitely get Jet extensions.
Thanks for watching my video
The 55 is beautifully unassuming…..
I love it!
Great work 👍🏼
Thanks a lot!
Pretty sure the idle gives it away.
Gurgle -gurgle- gurgle 😅
Great video. Not a bunch of stuff other than racing. Thank you.
Awesome sleeper!
You give me hope of running 12s in my 78 omega thanks
Great ET for such mild cam specs!
Out running expensive late model performance muscle cars with this 4 door 55 Chevy has got to be fun
Why?
Absolutely love the car. My idea of what drag racing should be. Kudos to you. 👍
Thanks! 👍

they are slapper bars ... not ladder bars 😅🤣😂
@mrj2productions873 oops sorry yeah that's what I meant. My brain typed ladder bars ☹️
Funny, you say that we took it to cruiseing the coast and did some stop like street racing. And it was amazing the cars that we ran off from
If you have adjustable front shocks, you need to stiffen the rebound a bit, the car is loading good on the hit but then rebounds and bogs.

Very impressive! Those are respectable times and mph for sure! That should get down to low 11s with that mph and dialing it in. Nice 55!
Thanks 👍
Nice runnin little shoebox! Good launches. 2 door conversion on the to do list.
Thanks but that ruin the sleeper effect
I like it more as a sedan. Not everything no has to be a coupe
@@dzperformance7360 Perfecct just the way it is!
What gear/converter are you running? Mufflers (sounds quiet at idle).

Put in a 400 turbo it will last with a 3000 stahl

You did not. No need to lie.
@@lollipop84858 exactly what is your problem
Sand falling out on the back end onto the track,lol left side rear bumper, ,,,look at the vlog and you will see it, , your spinning at the line, thanks BigAl California
That's very observant,, The frame rails have some dirt in them. And every time the car tweaks off the line. It pukes out some mud or dirt chunks
Like I said it's my buddy's car in my motor,, I don't know if i'd be overstepping my boundaries. If I ask him to wash the bottom of it.
i like two doors but they cost to much
the four doors are much more realistic
C O O L
What a joy this was to watch! Was impressed by the launch this simple setup was able to perform! What gear do you run?
3.90
Thank you, for watching,,
That's a beauty I'd be curious if you cut some weight bumpers etc
The 383 motor is mine. The car is my buddys, but yeah, it even has the back seat in it and interior,, I think we could drop a 100 pounds on that car. Really easy,
Nice 55.
60 foot times are very good l think with some tuning it could go a little better on the top end 11.30s at 120mph but it is leaving the light well

No he doesn't, Kennedy.
That car runs a wicked time...what's it weigh?
We have not weighed it but with driver. We're betting on 3650 pounds.
That was awesome! Where is this track? Missouri or Kansas? Good luck.
The track is called Mokan, It's right on the missouri / kansas border it's near Joplin Missouri, Very close to Jittsburgh Kansas
It's just outside joplin missouri,, But very close to pittsburgh kansas it's right on the border
Sounds like it's time to upgrade and spend some more money 😂.awesome car man 😮it wouldn't take much and ya'll will be in the 9s

That is one wicked 55! What are you running for mufflers on it?
That's my buddy's car with one of my motors. And I think the mufflers are knock off flow masters by summit,
I am a55 man never was a fan of a four door. But the car is nice
Thanks,, It's my motor it's my buddy's car. But I love the patina and the sleeper. Look on it. But yeah I got a 2 door 55. And I prefer 2 doors.

Yeah, except a 4 door is less than 1/2 the price of a 2 door. I run a '62 Impala 4 door with a 383/PG and it runs in the mid 11s.
How old are you like 13? This car is a total sleeper why talk chit from a keyboard got anything better?
@@thatsmrharley2u2 Thats right! Car doesnt know if it has 2 or 4 who cares anyways?
4 door is better than no car! Really makes the sleeper effect!!
