1965 Plymouth Belvedere II Low milage retro - modified super stock ( streetable driver )This is a Custom Mopar Muscle Magazine car (See Aug. 2010 issue). Rodney Brock (GA. Resident) built his '65 Plymouth B-Body into a retro - modified super stock Rodney had acquired the car from an older Mopar-oriented friend, Bill Bigham, who had owned it for 20 years. Since the car is so reminiscent of the Super Stock era, Rodney knew it was time to step up to the next level. Rodney wanted a potent, streetable and stock looking power plant, but nothing exotic, so a 400-inch short-block (see this issue for build) was stuffed with streetable goodies like 9.0:1 compression Keith Black pistons and a solid-lift cam from Mopar Performance that was assembled by close friend Duane Sartin after the machine work was completed by Fugate Machine in Ringgold, Georgia. This base was topped by a set of 452 iron heads treated to some mild porting, and a cleanup. A Holley Street Dominator intake topped by a 650-cfm double-pumper and a chrome air cleaner finishwhile top half, while Dynomax headers send the rumble to tailpipes. Other engine essentials include a Milodon oil pan, a Manley timing setup, and a big, deep-cycle marine battery located in the trunk, just like the old Super Stockers. Horsepower is 410 to the rear wheels! Melvin Croft of Chattanooga, Tennessee, rebuilt the 727 TorqueFlite, with a floor-shift layout courtesy of B&M. Inside the "slushbox" is a Cheetah valvebody and a Turbo Action torque converter. Keeping the suspension simple and streetable, the stock suspension was rebuilt with endru parts. The front brakes were upgraded to a set of B-Body disc brakes, the rear stock drums. One more area left to be upgraded was the differential. This car got a bulletproof Dana 60 with a 4.10:1 SureGrip, and a homemade pinion snubber. The body was clean and straight to start with, and little was needed other than paint. Chris Watts at Watts Paint & Body laid down a conservative but eye-catching scheme of Nason-brand Aqua-Marine Blue The addition of custom door panels and seat skins by Rick Atkins Upholstery add just the right. This car runs Good, doesnt overheat, IS loud and Proud and doesnt appear to have any major leaks.
