1971 Chevelle EFI Swap & Restomod AC Unit! - Small Block Chevelle EP. 1

We have yet another Chevelle in the shop! This project isn't as in-depth as our Twin Turbo LSX Chevelle, but we're going to make sure it's just as enjoyable to drive. We're starting off with a Restomod AC system for this muscle car. While original dash does have vents, the HVAC unit in the Chevelle has no way of pushing air throughout the car. So we're ripping that old dusty system out and getting our Restmod Haymaker unit mounted up in its place. To compliment our fresh AC system, we're also installing a Holley Sniper EFI set up. This will replace our dinosaur of a carburetor and give us some more reliable fuel distribution. This kit also comes with a brand new fuel tank and fuel pump that's going underneath the body of this Chevelle, so we don't have any rusty gas going through our fuel injection system. Midway through the project, the customer decided that he wanted the engine bay refreshed and looking as polished as all of the new parts we were installing. So we yanked the motor out, stripped it down, and slapped on a fresh coat of paint. While we were at it, we also ripped out the interior, and put in a brand new carpet to replace the damp, moldy one! We degreased the engine bay and took care of all the rusty surfaces before reassembling it all again. When it's all said and done, we have a gorgeous, refreshed Chevelle with some modern comforts. Stay tuned, because the next time you see this 1971 Chevelle, we're going to be addressing the small hiccup we had with the power steering pump and show you how easy it is to tune this Sniper EFI system!
