1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Tribute SS 496 V8 Engine

The engine is a built 496 cubic inch big block V8 doing its best to outshine the performance of an LS6. The owner has provided us with specifics, like compression ratio and cam specs, so please call in for the specifics. Thousands of dollars were spent to transform the beast we are presenting today. With a polished, March serpentine belt system, and a set of Patriot Freedom performance aluminum heads, the engine is accented with beautiful matte black-finished valve covers. Additionally, a high-rise aluminum intake, and a Holley EFI Sniper system for reliability and predictability round out this awesome package. The cowl induction hood feeds an open-element air cleaner and the entire build has an OEM look to it that's very appealing. Long-tube headers add a few extra ponies and definitely bolster the big block's robust torque curve, and this is certainly one great-running car. Twist the key and it settles almost instantly into an easy idle, and throttle response is right now quick, so there won't be many cars that can beat you on the roll. The chassis is clean with a large, and throaty, exhaust system, built TH400 3-speed automatic transmission, and a heavy-duty 10-bolt rear end. 15-inch Torque Thrust wheels that almost match the bodywork wear a set of 215/70/15 BFGoodrich radials up front and a set of sticky Mickey Thompson drag radials out back.
