This particular Chevelle Malibu has a small block 283 making 195 horsepower, so essentially it was equipped with the base V8 engine and mated to a Powerglide transmission. Jim also has another 1965 Chevelle, except that car is a Red SS with a Trick Flow built engine, 12 bolt rear end with 3.73 gearing, a Muncie M22 Rock Crusher transmission, and a slew of suspension upgrades. These two 65s couldn\u2019t be further apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He can fully enjoy the benefits that both his resto-mod and stock cruiser bring to the table, it just depends on what he wants to do on a given day.
