Super Chevy – October 2019

20 SUPER CHEVY OCTOBER^2019

a 4.250-stroke Callies crank, Manley

rods, and 4.600-inch bore JE pistons.

This works out to 565 cubes and comes

in at 11.3:1 compression. The cylin-

ders are topped with a pair of Dart

Pro 1 cylinder heads. Up top, a Hilborn

8-stack injection system—running on

E85—helps keep this monster engine

fed. Engine management is done by

a Holley HP ECU and MSD ignition.

Engines in Bohemia, New York, tack-

led the build of this big-block mill. The

Shafiroff Ultra Street Edition engine

makes over 800 hp and 750 lb-ft of

torque, which is nothing to sneeze at,

especially in a Pro Touring-style ride.

This killer mill is backed by a

custom-built Turbo 400 transmis-

sion, running a Gear Vendors over-

drive built by Vinny Staria at Staria’s

Transmissions in Selden, New York.

This beast is kept cool by a Ron Davis

aluminum radiator and is dressed up

by a March Performance billet pulley

system.

The suspension is dialed in by

RideTech airbags at the four corners.

Air Ride control arms and sway bars

finish off the chassis on this road beast.

For extreme stopping power, Wilwood

brakes do the trick. Up front has

massive 15-inch rotors pinched by six-

piston calipers, while the rears come

to a stop with four-piston pieces. As

for the rims, Weld 15x12 wheels hold

the Mickey Thompson ET Street R

325/50R15 rubber out back, and RC

Component 17x4 billet wheels shod in

Moroso DS-2 26x5.0/17 are up front.

It’s all held together by Champion bil-

let wheel lugs.
