I recently did an engine swap in my 66 Belvedere. I went from a stock 273 with a cracked block to a 1969 318 with 360 heads and a mild cam. The new engine generates about 100 more horsepower than the old 273, and the torque converter is not too happy with it. I'm looking for recommendations...

Hello all! I'm looking to change out the stock manifold and carb on the 273 in my 66 Belvedere II. I'm being paranoid, but I'm looking for confirmation in my choice of intake manifold. In my searches on this site, I've seen recommendations for the Edelbrock Performer 318/360. These...

In early June, I purchased a 66 Belvedere II convertible. Over the last 2 months, it's been at my mechanics undergoing some maintenance to make it more road worthy. The car is an older restoration and hadn't been driven much by the previous owner, so it needed a bit of TLC. I got it back...

Hello, all! Thanks for adding me to your group. I've been a Mopar fan since high school, when I drove a 1966 Belvedere II hardtop. I'm now reliving my youth with a just purchased 1966 Belvedere II convertible. I look forward to interacting with and learning from all of you! -Steve
