Default Joe Sapp (JHS's) 1971 SS 454 Chevelle

<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
