Great video. My older brother had a beefed up 400 automatic trans black with white strips 70 SS Chevelle. It was set up for the quarter mile with 4-88 rear end gear. 472 open chambered roller bearing cam, dual point set up with a single 950 holey carb and long tube headers. With that set up at Lapeer Dragway in Michigan it would run consistent 11.40's. With the staggered dual quad set up it would run 10.70's consistently with slicks of course. That was in 1970-72. I was 16 in 1970 and while cruising Woodward Ave on warm summer nights it was such a thrill to ride with my older brother especially when someone was brave enough to race, usually from a roll of about 15 miles an hour. When the Chevelle hit second gear no one was able to stay close. The torque of that big block was incredible. My brother told me the closest race he had on Woodward was a Baldwin Motion 70 454 Camaro that stayed close but not close enough to pass him. I wasn't with him that night; I wish I would have been. Those were some great times. Listening to your powerful Chevelle took me back in time to those warm summer nights on Woodward Ave. Thanks for sharing. Oh yes, my brother had a close friend with a 1970 Yenko Duece LT1 350 Nova that was a blast to cruse Woodward Ave as well. That was 1970-72 as well. One night I was with him when he raced a brand new 70 426 Hemi Challenger. It was purple with a white vinal top. Beautiful car. They raced three times each time from a standing start. Very close race, but the Yenko Duece won each race by about half a car. That Nova was hard to beat off the line. You could mat it and it launched hard with very little wheel spin. It had a three-speed automatic with a his and hers Hurst shifter. It was also geared for the quarter mile with 4.10 rear end gear with Posi Traction. He should have kept that car and restored it. If we only knew then what we know now. Once again, thanks for the fantastic sounds of your 70 SS Chevelle.
Yeah, sounds like an awesome time back then, i always wished i grew up as a teenager in the late 60,s early 70,s when Big Block Monsters like this Chevelle were out terrorizing the streets, back when there was a drag race every time you pulled up to a red light in your Cobra Jet Mustang and there was a 396 Nova just waiting for someone to pull up, those seemed like awesome times back then, unfortunately me being born in the late 70,s missed all that.
Goodness gracious, what a rocket! Beautiful machine. They sure don’t make them like that anymore. I’ll be 60 in a year and one of my most prominent childhood memories from age 5 was my late Dad’s 1971 Chevelle 454SS. Classic red with black stripes like yours, but with a stick shift. He sold it to dedicate more resources and energy to his kids and God bless him for it. But oh if only we still had it today. Your video gives me a small taste of what could have been. Keep enjoying that Beast!
@@thatred704SWEET SS!!! How'd you get it to run pump gas? I have a 78 Z28 with a 355, Brodix Heads, high rise intake, full roller, solid lift, huge cam (640 lift, 264/270 duration @ .050 and runs like 💩 on pump 93. It only wants the 110 leaded purple. What am I doing wrong????
@@Micheal-t6sget yourself a e85 carb e85 if it is in fact true 85% ethanol has a ron of 100-110 octane. Just switched over to it running a stroked out 410 cleveland stroker that is running 12.5-1 compression. Runs excellent on that sure beats Sunoco 110 or aviation fuel which is a bit cheaper compared to race gas. Since the winters here in Kentucky are fairly mild plan to switch over to an aviation/ 93 octane mix since the ethanol content could be lower in the winter months.

Something about a chevelle ss with a big block. Unless you have driven one, you wouldnt understand. Will put a smile on your face from the minute you put the key in. Till you park it.
Most don't know how to drive them. But auto will be better if running drag strip. Manual transmission would be my pick. I like em. Wished I had one in my 05 chevy truck.
@@SCARFACE69247facts 😂😂😂 a lenco is the only decent shifting “stick shift” in my opinion and even that don’t stand a chance. Those 10spds changed the game
That’s a gorgeous car man but I love the big block. That’s a big block built right. The right machine work and an awesome set of heads worked to perfection. Congratulations on the build. Stay safe and enjoy that bad ass Chevy man
Small blocks, LS, Coyotes…all are awesome…but a Big Block Chevy or Hemi is a “whole other type of power”!! Especially if comparing NA to NA. Great video and awesome car - my dream car.
It’s a love hate relationship with my neighbors when I bring out my 9 second Cleveland powered 86 mustang. Took out last Sunday, did some rolling burnouts. Right when I pulled into my driveway, here comes two cruisers 😂
In high school my best friend had a 70 Chevelle SS it was lime green with a 454 and I remember feeling like I was on a roller coaster ride everyday going home from school.
This is a great video about the 70 Chevelle it brings a lot of memories. I had a 70 Chevelle 350 4speed position I wish I had it back. Keep up the great videos. 😊
I'm not an expert on this subject; however, it seems that Chevelles are rare. You don't often see them. I'm a C8 Corvette driver, and even I'm impressed with the way this Chevelle pulls.

Yep. I love my #'s matching '70 SS 454. Every man should get to drive a big block Chevelle or Camaro at least once in his life.
Big Block Chevys - especially of the 454ish variety are a whole other type of powa!!!
Same thing with my 68 Torino I love the attention
Great sounding 454
You're having fun with the car and that's all that matters😮😮😮

Back when America BUILT Great cars & touted superior performance.👍❤💪
Badass ride !
Wow that car is amazing!!!
Brings back great memories! It's also true they don't make em like that anymore!
With the way that thing snaps the revs, it must have one heck of a loose convertor.
My dream car all my life!! Thanks for the ride!
Thanks it’s my dream car too!
Please do more videos cruising and getting on it. Love it! 👍
More to come!
wow tons of play in that steering wheel,,sweet car though
Do the whole stretch! Old folks aren't up yet.
Old folks don't give a shit. They were the ones buying these cars when new.
There is nothing in this world that sounds better than a high compression, cammed big block chevy!
That sound is amazing, all real MEN love it when they hear it , I WANT 1 😁🔥😎
Love it brother Matt!!👍🏻🙌🏻💪🏼🔥
High stall converter helps the rpm’s climb fast. Definitely sounds great and responsive too.
What an awesome video! Killer with headphones
Great throttle response
Throttle response masterclass
I sure miss my old 1970 Chevelle SS427!
😂😂😂 boss man is out here gassing this monster bare foot
Sweet ride you got there!!
My favorite chevelle on you tube. Love it dude! Im building a 69 right now, your video insoires me to keep working at it
Maybe next time you can pull up the anchor !😮
She sounds healthy.
Damn that’s mighty strong!

Low 9s easily on 400 shot
What size carb you runnin? Love how it Revs quick and breaks tires loose

beautiful car was just curious as to how much horsepower and torque you're working with?
What size tires are you running in the back? Awesome car man!
which does it eat more of tires or mustangs lol.
Beautiful 💪🏾

Sounds healthy! Is that a ls6 454 or a built 454?
Every bit of a sub 10 sec car. What she dyno at. Absolutely awesome. Woohoo.
That street you were on looks awfully familiar. Is that off 484 in Ocala?
Maybe lol

Oh, I only asked because if it's the street I'm thinking of, I live only a couple miles away.
My brother had one but it was stock internals this one obviously has a hotter cam.
How many tech's do you need?
That is one beautiful f****** car
What does all motor mean? Do non NA engines only use half the amount of cylinders or something?
Not sure if serious.....
Tell us all the specs.....heads/cam/headers/carb/intake rear gears, etc.
