Chevelle Build Up

badassgremlin · 07-27-2003, 10:41 AM

im helping a buddy of mine who i might add had a bit of money on his hands build a 70' chevelle we need ideas for an engine we were thinkin blown 454 or maybe a naturally aspirated 502 but were not sure so puor in the ideas!

GM Crate 572

A N/A 502 sounds like a good motor... But theres nothing like a fat blower sitting on top a big block under the hood.

I'd personally go with a centrifugal type blower like ProCharger. Keep it all under hood so's not disturb the classic lines of the '70 Chevelles hood.

I plan on doing a similar setup to my Nova, I'm really looking into a Procharger setup for a carb'd motor. It'll gain me 40-50% increase of power and it looks damn sweet to see that giant snail parked under the hood.

Buy a new hood for it and keep the old one, and the new on just cut a hole in er to fit the blower out the top!!

well first how much is a little bit of money to blow? because if you are planning on building it yourself be prepared it it NOT cheap! and takes alot of time and patience.

i think your best bet would be the blown 454 because as far as cost goes to build it will be more bang for you buck. just make sure it is a four bolt main!

if your going crate engine just know that your actually paying for a stock block that is at least 2500$. (stock)

also another thing to think about is tranny. because if you go for the 502 then your definetly gonna want a automatic, because it will to hard to control in a manual. but on the other hand the 454 will be soooo much fun with a manual. plus with alot of horses you want a racing clutch, witch is again expensive.

i'm only 17 so write me back i definetly wanna know what your doing, i enjoy this kinda stuff alot, i built my block myself and it is so much fun if you have the time and money. my recomendation is build the 454 h.o. with a fat racing clutch......don't forget whellie bars!
