This super clean 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS arrived at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop with a few issues under the hood, so the V8 team is going to have a look at the FAST fuel-injected 383 to see what's going on. The team ended up installing a Blueprint 400 small block Chevy making 521 HP.

Congrats to our friend Al on winning another car show with his '69 Chevelle! It seems every time he takes it out he brings home some kind of award. This time, it was First Place at The Hill Car Show in St. Louis. Oh, and the week before, he won People's Choice at the Waterloo Optimist Club Car Show in IL. Way to go Al, your Chevelle is one of the favorites we've restored here at the V8 Speed & Resto Shop!

This clean medium blue 1966 Dodge Charger 383 arrived at the V8 Speed & Resto Shop in need of some valvetrain repair and general maintenance, so the team installed a COMP Cams roller cam, lifters, pushrods, and roller rocker arms to replace the broken original rocker arms. A Demon carburetor was installed for more throttle snap and better fuel atomization, and the crew refreshed the drum brakes on all four wheels. The V8 Speed and Resto Shop specializes in maintenance and repairs on Classics and Muscle Cars, as well as modifications and full restorations.

This sweet 1969 Corvette roadster arrived in the V8 Speed & Resto Shop in Red Bud, Illinois, in need of some upgraded power and added fun! The original engine was long gone, so the customer did not have much of a "guilt" factor for changing the car, so modern Corvette power was chosen to boost the fun! The crew of the V8 Speed & Resto Shop routinely performs everything from maintenance on old cars to complete restorations and modern engine conversions, so they were well equipped to replace the anemic 350 in favor of a modern 485 HP Chevrolet LS3 V8. They backed the LS3 with a Tremec T56 Magnum 6-speed manual gearbox from Modern Driveline, which required many modifications to the clutch, console, and transmission tunnel.

The COMP Cams 40th Anniversary 1969 Chevrolet Camaro convertible freshly restored by the V8 Speed & Resto Shop headed for home today! The COMP Cams team picked up the car from our shop in Red Bud, IL, and made the journey to COMP headquarters in Mephis without a hitch... and yes, they drove the car! We're happy for COMP and proud of the V8 Speed & Resto Shop Crew for the great work on this car and look forward to seeing it again at the 2016 SEMA Show in Las Vegas!
According to the nubers, there were only 38 of these first generation 1967 Excalibur roadsters built, and the V8 Speed & Resto Shop crew just finished a freshening on a very cool maroon version for a great customer. The car is powered by a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette 327 and is hooked to a Borg-Warner 3-speed automatic transmission, and features functional side exiting pipes and dual exhaust. The chassis is basically a stretched 1964 Studebaker Lark, with front disc brakes and a third headlight that turns with the steering wheel, like a Tucker Torpedo. Inside, you'll find an engine-turned dash with Stewart Warner gauges and an original Motorola radio. This car is showing just over 19,000 miles on the odometer, and had not run in years before being delivered to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop for a tune-up and some new wide whitewalls from Diamond Back Classics. These are rare and unusual cars, and we're happy to keep them on the road!

This sweet 1973 Pontiac Trans Am is heading home after a trip to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop for some A/C repairs, new rear gears, a stance adjustment, and some other maintenance items. This car is running a factory 455-cube Pontiac V8 and is finished in Buccaneer Red. While our shop did not restore this car, we performed a variety of tasks to complete the beautiful restroation.
This 1968 Oldsmobile is a great looking car that drives and handles well, but the owner wanted more power and modern-day drivability. Did we mention he wanted a LOT more power? In this 6-part series, we install a modern supercharged 6.2 Liter GM LSA Connect & Cruise engine and transmission. Follow along as we cover the whole process in this series. You can contact us at the V8 Speed & Resto Shop at http://www.v8speedshop.com or at 314.783.8325 for any of the parts you see in this video, or to have us convert your ride for you!
