1973 Chevrolet Chevelle SS – True Big Block Super Sport with Rare Swivel Bucket Seats

The car features desirable and rare swivel bucket seats, adding to its uniqueness and collectability. The paint was redone in its original color and remains presentable, though it does show minor signs of age including some scratches and bubbles.

Under the hood, the original 454 block has been professionally bored .040 over and upgraded with high-performance internals. The build includes Keith Black 26cc dome hypereutectic pistons, a forged crankshaft, mildly worked 049 heads with 2.19 and 1.88 valves, and a 10.2:1 compression ratio. The valvetrain is fitted with full roller rockers and a Comp Cams Magnum 292H cam. Additional performance parts include Hooker Super Competition headers, a Holley Strip Dominator intake manifold, and a Holley 850 double pumper carburetor. 

The power is delivered through a Turbo 400 transmission with a 10-inch converter and 3200 stall. Out back, a 12-bolt rear end houses a Moroso Brute Strength posi unit with 3.73 Richmond gears and new bearings. The car rides on Nitto drag radials.

Additional mechanical upgrades include a new gas tank and sending unit, front-end bushings and a new steering box, complete new weather-stripping, a full new exhaust system, and new rally wheels.
