Starting with a 454 that was bored .030 to bring the cubes up to 468, the engine includes SPP Flat Top Pistons. It is a solid lifter engine, but with the Poly Locks and the roller rockers they never need to be adjusted. 1969 Corvette Square Port Heads, Weiand Intake, heads and intake have been professionally ported and polished to match. An 850 AED carb tops the intake. The four bolt main motor is using a steel crank. Exhaust runs through HPC coated Sanderson Headers into custom bent exhaust. It fits tight to the body with no rattles and doesn’t hang low or out of place. Ignition is all MSD, Dizzy, 6AL box and coil. The engine dyno’d at around 550hp, with 10:1 compression and yet it still runs on pump gas. All that power, and yet it cruises down the road nicely. But stomp on it, and hang on! A huge aluminum radiator keeps everything in check, this one runs cool No overheating problems here.
Power goes into the Muncie Rock Crusher M22 by way of a GM Nodular 12lb flywheel that has been balanced to the engine. An Organic Zoom clutch is rated at 700hp. The trans has a blowshield as well. A custom 3” driveshaft with large U joints is also balanced and feeds the power into a new Posi 12 bolt Moser rear with 3:55 gears. The Muncie is very tight, no sloppy shifts here.
The front suspension is all new with new bushings, tyrods etc. All new front disc brakes and QA1 adjustable coilovers. The rear has all new drum brakes and RideTech coilovers as well as an adjustable 4 Link system. Billet Specialties Bonneville G rims are at all four corners, 18x8 front and 20x8.5 rears. The car sits right and handles very nicely.
Everything under the car is new and well done. Fuel lines, brake lines, Emergency brake cables etc, etc. Even the gas tank is new also. The floors on this car are 100% original and are perfect. Painted chassis black, there are no areas that have been fixed or repaired. This is by far the most solid Chevelle I have ever had the pleasure of owning.
