Historic Chevy Performance Engines

Take a look at a few of the rare and wonderful Chevy engines in the Museum of American Speed!

55 Chevy Engine Build

Derek kicks off his 55 Chevy rebuild with a fresh small block.

Chris Ryan's 1978 Pontiac Trans Am

Chris Ryan's '78 Firebird is a loving tribute to that famous Trans Am from _Smokey & the Bandit_, but with style and performance that would have been nearly impossible when the Bandit was busy with Sheriff Justice.

Byron's 1975 Chevy Vega

It's not every day that you see a wild, IMSA inspired, 550 horsepower Vega. Byron Burnham went way outside the box with this one, and we love it.
