crate engines from Chevrolet Performance. These 502 cubic inch
engines makes extensive use of aluminum to keep weight down
including aluminum heads, intake, water pump and valve covers.
Additionally, these engines are full of heavy-duty parts, such as:
forged aluminum pistons, forged shot-peened steel connecting rods
with 7/16 in. bolts, forged steel crankshaft, 14 in. automatic
transmission flexplate, 4-bolt main blocks, stainless steel valves,
6 qt. oil pan, and windage trays. The complete engine kits come
with Generation VI 4-bolt main blocks with one-piece rear main
seals and a Hydraulic roller camshaft. Other features include a
single roller timing chain, aluminum large oval port, and 110cc
combustion chambered heads. Intake runner volume is 290cc;
stainless steel valves are installed, with 2.25 in. intake side and
1.88 in. on the exhaust side. Valve springs are rated at 140 lbs.
closed and 368 lbs. open, good for up to .680 in. lift. These heads
have exhaust crossovers. Aluminum high-rise dual-plane square bore
bolt pattern intake manifolds and an 870 cfm carburetor are also
included.The transmission is a 700R4 which is a 4 speed automatic
transmission with a 30% overdrive in 4th gear. This transmission
was produced by General Motors, but is also sometimes known by the
name Hydramatic. The 700R4 was used widely on both truck platforms
and rear-wheel drive car platforms. Some of the popular trucks it
was used in were the Chevrolet Blazer and Suburban and the
Oldsmobile 350 diesel. This transmission was also used in the
Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, Impala, and many others. Two of the key
reasons for its popularity were the improved fuel consumption and
the 3.06:1 gear ratio in 1st gear. This is a much lower ratio than
what was common and provides exceptional acceleration from a stop
and is also good for off-road driving. The 700R4, produced by
General Motors/Hydramatic, is considered one of the best overdrive
transmissions ever made.'Baer' brakes stop the car. Since 1986,
Baer Brakes have been refining and defining performance stopping
power. It is a leader in the performance brake industry that
challenges the status quo by focusing on engineering design and
innovative technology. On the track and on the street, Baer Brake
Pads and Baer Rotors deliver the aggressive bite that true drivers
demand.Depending on your taste, the 1959 Cadillac was to prove the
