I’ve thot about building a tribute 70 Chevelle SS ala John Wick just to carry more than one grandkid. That would be a perfect memory maker engine. Humm…. Modern auto or stick……. Black.. definitely black.

My cousin has that same car, though different colors..... red, black stripes, black top, white interior...... I still remember going for a ride with him when I was a kid, and asking him what made the flap on the Cowl Induction hood open...... he did not say a word, he just showed me.....

the Cowl Induction is a cool feature, as the secondary’s open vacuum opens the cowl, I’m not really sure it does a damn thing but it looks and sounds fantastic.

No idea, but each of those cylinders, 6 of them, was 12 1/2 x 13, , 4 stroke. There are STILL some of them performing useful service, and others operating on tourist lines and museum trackage.
