Name my project
Looking for a cool name for my Chevelle project. It will be a 71 (maybe cloned to a 70) Chevelle with a twin turbo LS1 punch out to 402ci.(750hp) Its backed by a Viper T56 6 speed trans. The car will be painted yellow w/ black stripes (wifes choice) In general, it will be a Pro touring car with old school looks and up dated everything! Wheels...17s probally tourqe trust vintage. (grey in center).
Any thoughts???? Thanks - Ron

I like where you guys are going with this! My parents used to own a bar. When I got out of the service, I ment a "old guy" that use to call me Stinger. I never knew why, and never asked. He pasted away a few years ago now, but I still remeber his druncken laugh and him calling me Stinger. How about Project Stinger?

Sounds good to me. And project names are about 8 billion times cooler if there's actually some sort of a story behind it!
Just curious about the choice of transmission donor..aren't the GM-based T-56's easier to adapt?

I talked to D&D transmissions. They said, in order to run that kind of power though a T56 you would have to upgrade it (stock Camaro/ Firebird trans.) to "Viper sepcs". They suggested that I buy a Viper Trans. from them ($2400.00 W/ stock LS1 bellhousing) And for an added bouns, the shifter would fit in the stock center consol!

Stinger sound like a great idea. Hey I went so school at UWP and also lived in Dubuque for a while. I lived on Cental Ave not too far from a biker bar at the time named The king of Clubs or something like that. Went to East Dubuque a time or two as well.
Is there much going on car wise over the summer around there.

Close to Stinger: Sting is the name of the sword in Lord of the Rings and has an awful bite.

I think every yellow and black car is called stinger.
In fact there was a pro-touring 69 Camaro in CHP called that.
