2200HP Classic Chevy – Stock I6 With Turbo

September 26th, 2019

Produced from 1970 until 1992, the Chevrolet Opala was derivative of a Chevy chassis and an Opel body. The drivetrain was all GM, as well. Never heard of it? That’s because the Opala was built and sold in Brazil. That’s where the drag racing action on this video is documented. The Opala with no paint is particularly impressive. Competing in the TTA Class, it must use the stock (numbers matching) engine block and cylinder heads. That translates into an inline 6-cylinder from 1971. In stock trim, the 4.1-liter power plant was only capable of churning out about 170hp. Today, this Read More

Making this British beauty get up and go is a 568 cubic-inch New Century Performance cast aluminum engine block (Chevrolet big block platform) topped with a set of spread bore cylinder heads Read More
