[Chevelle-List] Re: Fwd: Stupid pet tricks (NC)
Not Chevelle related, but thought you guys would find this interesting. I'm not on the original mail list, but this mail was forwarded to me at work. If the link doesn't work for anyone, I have a copy of the MP3 saved locally I can send on request.

Read below then click the link above. First you'll hear a 10-cylinder, 750 horsepower Asiatech F1 engine being warmed up. Then it performs a rousing version of When The Saints Come Marching In, to the delight of assembled pit staff and journalists. Here's how the magic was achieved (technical/musical details via F1 Racing magazine): As we all know, a V10 engine produces five combustions per revolution at a frequency per second of 60/(5 x revs per minute), which equals 12/rpm. Therefore, to work out the revs you need to hit a particular musical note, you multiply the note's frequency by 12. To play a 440Hz 'A', for example, you need 5,280rpm. For 'C', use 3,139rpm, for 'F' 4,191rpm, and so on. Asiatech's French technicians (the engine, despite its name, is derived from a Peugeot design) simply programmed their engine to run through the various rev/note ranges in the correct sequence. The result is delightful. A Merry Christmas to all from the Badger in Kiwiland - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Chevelle-List] Gearvenders under/over verses 700R4
Also keep in mind that most 700R4's can't handle the same torque that a TH400/GV unit can. I've got a '70 SS396 with a 700R4 that works GREAT! I am also building a '70 vert with a ZZ502. For this project, we were originally going to go with a 700R4, but found that the 700R4 tops out at around 450 ft-lbs of torque. My understanding is that the weak link is the Aluminum input shaft. We decided to switch gears (no pun intended) and went with the TH400/GV setup. However one final noteThere are companies that are addressing the 700R4 limitations. Bow Tie Overdrives in SoCal has a modified 700R4 that will handle up to 600HP. I've already headed down the TH400/GV path, but it might be worth looking into what you can get from a 700R4 these days.

I currently have a TH400 driving a 3.73 12 bolt posi and the revs are way to steep for long highway cruisin', 3000 @ 60 mph. Would like to drop them down to around 2000 @ 60 without swapping out rearend. I run my 70 down to Maryland quite often. It has a 4.10 12 bolt and cranks out 3700 RPMs at 80 mph. I usually keep it there for the duration of the trip down I-95 and 301 South. It gets awesome gas mileage at that (15 mpg). Best bet is probably to go with a Gear Vendors Unit. Not cheap, but well worth it as you get 6 forward gears instead of 4 with a 700R4.

[Chevelle-List] 66 427 Chevelle?
A buddy of mine recently purchased a 66 Chevelle that has some rather interesting things about it. First off, although it has a 396 engnie right now, it has all of the badging for a 427. It even has a cowl plenum air cleaner. Additionally, the license plate frame says Dana Chevrolet. Does anyone know if Dana made a 427 Chevelle in '66? Could this possibly be a prototype that never came to be? Anyway of checking the history of this car based on the VIN number? Any help would be appreciatedThanks! ---Eric - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Chevelle-List] HELP EMERGENCY!!!!
David, if you do not have an AC car, you should be able to remove the heater box cover by just loosening the passenger side inner well. It's tricky, but if you can roll the inner well out of the way a bit, you can squeeze your hand up in the corner to remove the rest of the fasteners. This method is a lot safer then pulling the fender. I did one on my '70 SS, but it's been about 5 years. ---Eric At 06:43 PM 11/30/2001 -0600, David Hovanessian wrote: My heater core just went out on my 70 Chevelle. Where do i have to go to replace it? There is that little box ,i guess you could call it that, that sticks out where the heater hoses goes. Can I take the core out from there or what? I would also if you could write me step about how i should do this. Get more from the Web. FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com
