<font color="red">Joe was nice enough to submit a few Members Rides for all to enjoy...so I will be periodically featuring his cars!
Thanks Joe!</font> You were soliciting submissions for the member's rides section of the sYc site so here are a few pics and brief description of the car for your review: In the summer of 2005 I was reading about GMPP's ZL1 all aluminum 454ci crate motor and how there were very few of the 200 engines produced left. I found one (#123) in Nebraska and bought it without having a car to put it in. A few weeks later I ran across this 1971 Chevelle SS454 at a car show and it was for sale. I purchased the car, pulled the NOM 454 and dropped the ZL1 into it. I replaced the original fuel tank with a fiberglass tank from a 1998 Impala to accomodate the electric fuel pump, re-built the 3.31 posi along with the TH400 tranny, added Hooker Headers, 3 stainless steel Flow Master exhaust, aluminum drive shaft, Dakota digital gauges and a Custom Autosound am/fm/CD stereo with 6 disc changer. Other than adding some beefier tires, I left everything stock. The car drives exceptionally well and sounds awsome. Other than tweaking a few things to get the engine to fit and re-routing the air intake system I had no problems with the implant. The engine dynoed at 550hp. Thanks, Joe ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
