1955 Chevrolet Other Pickups 350 V8 Engine

The 350 cubic inch V8 under the hood is a very strong motor with plenty of pop, fed by an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake manifold for added reliability and performance. The block wears blue paint, and you can tell they focused on the details, because the clean inner fenders, chrome valve covers and matching air cleaner, and big aluminum radiator all suggest a truck that was built to look as good as it drives. Block-hugging long-tube headers funnel into a newer dual exhaust system with a great rumbling idle, and yes, that's an independent tubular A-arm front suspension with power rack-and-pinon steering and disc brakes at all four corners. The 4-speed manual is connected to a stout Ford 9-inch rear end, so it's still able to do some hauling on weekends if necessary. Stylish 5-spoke chrome wheels are a nice update and wear fat 225/75/15 Firestone white-letter radials that fill the big wheel wells perfectly.
