Greg Hall, '66 Kelmark V8 - Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario Canada
I have a 1966 Corvair with a 350 and a TH425 trans. This car was owned by my father and he installed a 283 with a Kelmark kit in the mid 70's. He sold it in the early 80s. I found it sitting with no motor or trans in 2006 and purchased it. I collected parts and began a 3 complete redo on the car. Being a drag racer, I wanted a tougher trans than the original so the TH425 was my choice. I ran the car in some bracket races this year. First time out I lost in the final round running a 1/4 mile best of 13.62. This winter I am installing a much more potent 406 cu in engine with a 3.55 gears and hoping for low 12s.
