[Chevelle-list] 64, 65 BB

[William Piper]

Devin,
 
My information is certainly dated but I owned a 1964 El Camino a few
years ago and installed a 396.  In order not to modify the hood I used a
late sixty's low profile corvette intake. I believe my buddy may still
have the intake. It would take me a few days to round him up. He's in
Florida and I'm now living in GA.Hope this helps.Tom

I know from seeing signatures that I'm not the only one on this list
running a BB in an early car.  I am trying to fit a BB under a stock 64
hood.  I have another 64 hood that a friend was modifying for me, but
has lost interest in and I can't seem to get him to finish.  Anyway, the
critical question is, what intake/carb/air cleaner drop are you running?

 
I currently have a Victor Jr/Demon and 68 Corvette air cleaner with 4"
K+N on mine and it appears that I'm about 2 to 2.5 inches too high for a
flat hood.  I expect to have to go to a dual plane for now, hopefully
not as far as a Performer.  I'd like to be able to fit in an rpm or
Weiand Stealth, or equivalent.
 
Devin
