Its not that easy.. 64-65 chevelles have very small rear fenders. I mini tubed mine and I have a 19x10 rear wheel with a 275 tire. You have to rebuild the rear fenders and cut the pinch seam. You can not even fit your hand in between the fender and tire.
Turbo kits have become pretty cheap for the LS based motors. That's the direction I would be going.
The fender isn't the only thing that can be cut. Cut the frame and get rid of the horribly weak stock rear suspension at the same time. You still have to tub, but that's easy. I used to go through Pick Your Part and look for the stronger station wagon arms for my '66. There are much better solutions to that problem now, but mine would eat them regularly with a 265 tire.
