This one of one custom boasts the king of all big block 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.
