Not sure if this poll has been done before, but want to see what everybody is running in their Chevelles. I know the generally idea, is bigger is better but want to see who has what... If you have more than one, pick the one that is running or close to running. I have 2 but neither runs but one 230 is still in the car and it will be running shortly.

the origional #s matching LS5 454 with an ignition,carb,intake & cam upgrade.

I got more than one car. :wacko::D My chevelle has a 327 though.

bigger is better .

I dont think that bigger is better. "It's not the float in the boat ,but the motion in the ocean" :cool:

Numbers matching, bone stock, untouched, 58k miles 230 Six :D.

350

Very healthy 383 stroker.:D

496 here. 6-71 blower with Enderlie injection:D

Mostly in boxes right now, waiting on new pistons and rods.:(

Original 396 with over 300,000 Miles... new 496 being built.... and will replace....

Original 307 with about 100k on the odometer. You would thing that an old 307 wouldn't be too much fun to drive, but it's much quicker at the redlights than most modern cars, and smooth and quiet on top of that. It's a very nice engine, but there's a 350 in the engine stand right now so if Santa just brings that stroker kit... :)

Going with the ZZ383 next spring.

A 454, a 350, and a 283. Should have made the poll multiple choice. All of mine are running.

406.744 ci or 406 744/1000 cu. in.

454 X 2. :)

Currently mine is a 355, looking at swapping to a BB this winter :D

The ZZ502 now sits where my old worn out 402 once was. I keep one of the broken rocker-arms on my desk as a momento!

Bone stock, numbers matching 283 2bbl powerglide

454 .040 over...463 cubes on nitrous. Finally running.

Should make for a quick trip to jail when I get it on the road.

350 - had a six pack on it now a Holley 600. Have another 350 ready to be built, going to be a tribute engine to my friend who sold it to me , in my first car.

Had a 460, its out of the car now. A 548 to be installed in the Spring :D

427...small-block :D

my 64 4 door has a 230 inline 6 that runs strong. but i will be taking it out and putting a 327 into the car in about a week. http://www.kivaka.com/chevelle/DSC06391.JPG

Here is the 327 i bought. its alittle dirty but when i have time to go out to the pole barn i can put all the new parts on it:yes: i have a NEW torker 2 and a 750 edelbrock going onto it. http://www.kivaka.com/chevelle/327kivaka.JPG

No metric choices? I have a 5.7, which technically is a 348, but I figure I honed it well, so I say 350+ :)

632 :D

396 ( well, a 402 ). CE block, original heads and intake.

When it's done it will have a 770 Street Avenger, Wieand Stealth, headers, roller cam ( likely a nce Voodoo ), upgraded distributor, etc. I'm not sure if it will get bored or stroked ( maybe both ). That'll be decided when it comes apart.

383 using a '70 4-bolt block... 15K+ miles on original build. Built it back in the mid-80's when people still went "Huh?? You're gonna do what? A 383 is a Chrysler motor."

A 496 will be going in when it comes home from the body shop.

running bone stock 78k miles 396 not touching a thing !!

Right now a 350 with a cam & 4 bbl. Next spring alum manifold new carb & headers. Not trying to be the fastest. Just trying to please ME!! So how many more days till spring ???

402 right now,496 next summer.

I got more than one car. :wacko::D

The original numbers matching 350 in my '71. Brand new 454 in my husbands '72.

Original matching numbers 396/325 :D.

Camino has a very street friendly 355.
The Chevelle has the odd ball motor>>>377.

Just a little 402 .10 over. :)

My one owner is a 70- SS 454 M-22. 100% org. between the bumpers.
This includes the bumpers.

Mine is a 350 but after it goes back together from the wreck I'm leaning towards a 383.

496 WooHoo! :thumbsup:

my 71 originally came w/ a 6cyl and 3 on the tree. i bought it w/ a 350sbc in it. i am currently putting a 454bbc in it that i am building

A pair of 572/720R Crate engines

Original 350 that we "tweaked" a bit...

396 on a 136 malibu. end hot.

Two cars. Engines: LS6, #'s matching LS5 and 540 on order (#'s matching LS 5 goes on the shelf).

66 300 series, with the original 194 powerglide.

I probably have the smallest V8 in a 2nd gen Elco of anyone on this board. 4.3 litre, running through a 3 speed Saginaw, with overdrive. The nice thing about it is great mileage.

4.350 X 4.250 tall deck 427 block netting 505cid in my 1970 chevelle

P.S. When I do replace the 505 I will go bigger. minimum of 540cid, max of 632. Would consider small displacement 499 big bore short stroke twin turbo mill also. Its only money and dreams.:thumbsup:

stought 383 with dart II heads.

u didnt put the option of no engine? But next to my car is a 454.

Well the engines are whats in the sig.

But lately I've had dreams of a new generation LS-7.

Non original 396 in my 66SS. Engine is coded for a 396 out of a 66 Impala. I put some performance goodies on it so far, Comp cam, Weiand Stealth, 3310 Holley. The headers were already on it when I got it (1993).

383 stroker, Q-Jet, Dynomax headers... I get about 12 MPG with mostly city driving (350 TH tranny)

Original 307 with about 100k on the odometer. You would thing that an old 307 wouldn't be too much fun to drive, but it's much quicker at the redlights than most modern cars, and smooth and quiet on top of that. It's a very nice engine, but there's a 350 in the engine stand right now so if Santa just brings that stroker kit... :)

Same here I bought the car with plans of dropping in a 454 but after driving this thing over the summer the 307 is staying. I just have to buy another to put the 454 in:D. My truck has a 454 in it too

WOW! Multiple engines?? I have engine envy. Mine has a mild 383 that's plenty fast for turning corners. Now if I could only afford a nice 6 speed to put behind it.

bored out 402

Currently I'm running a 468 with Brodix BB1's, but I'm thinking a 572 with AFR's is in my future.

Buick 455 built to stage 1 specs.
454:boring:

Still has the original #s matching 396/325. Rebuilt 2 years ago, runs strong.
