The Chevelle is one of Chevrolet's most famous muscle cars of all times, it made a respectable name for it's self in the muscle car world, during it's run as a muscle car it could hold it's own with the best of them, there were a lot of different versions of the Chevelle and they were one of the best examples of a muscle car out there.

They were heavily optioned, big and powerful cars, my personal favorite years for the Chevelle were 1967 and 1970, these cars made a real statement, they were long and wide, and had the true muscle car look and feel about them, the Chevelle was a true muscle car icon from the late 1960's & early 1970's.

The LS6 454

The biggest performance option for 1970 was the "LS6 454"; it produced 450 HP @ 5600 RPM and built 500 lb-ft of torque @ 3600 RPM. It has high compression pistons and rectangle port cylinder heads, along with a solid lifter camshaft. Few other muscle cars could rival the power of the LS6.

By 1970 style was every bit as important as performance, and the SS Chevelles were available with twin racing stripes, that want over the hood and deck lid.

The Muncie M22 Rock Crusher 4 speed transmission

With 500 ft-lb of torque, only two transmissions were able to handle the LS6 engine. The Muncie M22 rock crusher, which supposedly got its name from having diamonds dropped in to the gearbox, and it, crushed the rocks before it chewed the gears out of the transmission. The second transmission that was tough enough to handle the LS6 was the turbohydromatic 400 automatic transmission.

With the SS package came an upgraded suspension system known as the F41 suspension, it basically had stiffer springs to handle the extra weight of the big block engine that was stuffed in to this wicked ride, a full length 2.5 inch dual exhaust also came standard on the SS models.

The cowl induction hood

The cowl induction hood was one the most distinctive features on the SS Chevelles, a slightly raised portion of the hood, with the opening for the scoop facing the driver of the car, it would draw air from the bottom of the windshield area, where the air has a natural swirling effect.

Engine Specifications

• Cast Iron Engine Block
• Cast Iron Cylinder Heads
• Two Valves Per Cylinder
• 4.25 inch bore with a 4 inch stroke
• 454 CID
• 11.25:1 Compression Ratio

Well that's more or less the story of the 1970 Chevelle LS6, during that time these cars were feared by their opponents, and loathed by the other motor companies, with all of them trying to out do each other in the muscle car wars, not to many of them could lay this car to rest, it was one tough hombre.

I've been in the automotive business for about 20 or 25 years, I have worked in all facets of the industry, from parts to restoration, all different makes and models, I just want to keep people interested in the old cars because it's where my heart is.

Why you need to collect a diecast Chevelle

Why you need to collect a diecast Chevelle

Before we begin, lets start with a little history on one of Chevrolet's most popular mid sized muscle cars. The Chevelle was produced from 1964-1977. There were three different generations. 1964-1967, 1968-1972, and 1973-1977.

The Chevelle SS, or super sport, first appeared in 1964. It was available with a 283 cubic inch V8 rated at 220 horsepower or a 327 V8 rated at either 250 or 300 horsepower. For 1965 a 350 horsepower 327 V8 was available in the SS. In 1966-67 the body was restyled and a 396 cubic inch big block was available in different combos ranging from 325 horsepower to 375. 1968-72 brought on another new body style. In 1970 the 454 cubic inch V8 became an option. What many consider to be one of the baddest factory produced muscle cars of the era, the LS6 1970 Chevelle SS was born. It was rated at 450 horsepower and a tire shredding 500 ft-lbs of torque. The LS6 had a solid lifter cam,  rectangle port cylinder heads and 11.25 to 1 compression ratio.

Today, trying to buy a nice used Chevelle usually requires a huge investment. Current muscle car prices are astronomical in some cases. The other option is to buy a project car to restore which can also require bucket loads of cash and time spent on labor. The affordable option is a diecast Chevelle. You can buy a diecast Chevelle in almost any year model. They are highly detailed replicas of the real thing, right down to the engine compartment, interior and undercarriage. Plus they don't require a large amount of space, and increase in value over time, just as a real Chevelle would.

Hey my name is Nate and I have been into muscle cars and drag racing my entire life. I like all brands of muscle cars and anything that goes fast. I also collect diecast American muscle cars.

how much power from my 355 chevy? Rough estimates please I know I wont have "all needed info"?

I have a .030 bored over 350 head casting number is 3927186, has a 600 cfm edelbrock carb. aluminum one chamber edelbrock intake, mild cam increase, solid lifters, and steel non-stock non-roller rockers. has a mallory electronic ignition distributer. and a performance timing chain. it also has heddman headers and purple hornies mufflers. in a '78 nova. bought it for $400 from a guy so I don't know all the details about the internal components. just going on what he told me.
The guy used it at the drag strip for a while, then he just drove it down the street maybe 2 times a week, however it sat in his garage for about 2.5 years in the car before I bought it. He took really good care of it and "used only the highest octane fuel." if this matter...

It could be anywhere from 280-350hp it all depends on how it is tuned, the internals used, what shape the motor is in and many other factors.

I also own a 73 roadrunner restored it myself and with the limited parts availability is one of the nicest and rarest made.
