Complete set SS396 1970
This submodification was equipped with an engine with a capacity of 402 cubic inches (6576 cm 3) and a capacity of 260 kW (360 horse power). This is standard for those years eight-cylinder engine with V-shaped cylinders built on the basis chevrolet engine Big Block 427. Piston diameter and length of its stroke were 104 and 95 millimeters, respectively. The compression ratio was more than 10 units, therefore gasoline of the A-95 brand (AI-95) was used as a fuel, which fell into cylinders through a four-chamber carburetor. CBC dual, 2 valves per cylinder. Also in the official description of "Chevrolet Shevel SS" there is information on the presence of valve mechanism hydraulic components in the head of the cylinder head.
Equipment SS454.
This is the most expensive and "rich" equipment "Chevrolet Cheville SS". It was equipped with a Chevy 454 (LS-5) motor with a volume of 7.44 liters and a maximum power of 280 kW achieved by 5,500 revolutions. Piston diameter and stroke length: 108 and 101.6 mm.

Dignity
The advantages of cars "Chevrolet Shevel SS" can be attributed:
- Appearance.
Smooth body lines, an abundance of chrome details, strips crossing the entire body, isolated a car against the background of other mascans with angular shapes and recessed radiator lattices.
- Powerful engine.
it distinctive trait any Mascar, and for this characteristic Chevelle SS bypassed famous Dodge Charger, Ford Mustang. And Pontiac GTO.
- Spacious salon.
It is placed free 5-6 people high growth. This is a consequence of a large body width - it is almost 3 meters.
disadvantages
The disadvantages include:
- Huge fuel consumption and small benzobac.
The volume of the latter, regardless of the engine installed, was 79 liters. And the flow rate varied from 15-20 liters when driving on the highway to 30-40 liters when driving in the city.
- Increased likelihood.
This is due to the large torque of the engine, and when turning the turn, an inexperienced driver could remotely move into a ditch.
- Insufficient handling.
It was a feature of the steering design. It consisted of a variety of mobile compounds in which the effort attached to the steering wheel was lost. Because of this, the car slowly changed the direction.
Summing up, it can be said that "Chevrolet Shevel SS" is the fastest Mascar, created in the period 1960-70s with extinguishing appearance and low (relative to supercars with similar characteristics).
Initially, the car was designed to compete with Ford Fairlane - cars were similar in appearance and dimensions. Throughout the entire production period, the following types of body were offered: a two-door coupe with a rigid roof, cabriolets, four-door sedans and similar universals. Among the modifications, the SS version was especially allocated, which was produced from the very beginning of Chevelle history in 1964. It was positioned by the company as muscle car. The usual car package cost then one and a half thousand dollars, and for an additional $ 162 was offered a SS kit (Super Sport), which was distinguished by an updated appearance, SS emblems and 14-inch wheels with caps. In the interior of Chevrolet Chevelle SS, there were also some changes: the salon was finished with vinyl, the box lever was made of aluminum, four were also available control lamps and tachometer. Modification was equipped with a V8 engine (differently in real muscle-kara and could not be) with a volume of 4.6 liters and a capacity of 220 hp.

Given that Chevrolet Chevelle SS competitors were such famous muscles as Pontiac GTO or OldSmobile Cutlass 442, in 1965 engineers offered a new V8 volume of 5.4 liters with increased power. In 1966, high-performance SS 396 model was added to the Chevelle line. It was built on the basis old model, and under her hood, real eight-cylinder monsters, developing from 325 hp. up to 375 hp The release of modifications ceased in 1968. Although it cannot be said that it stopped - rather we can assume that the Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 version from a separate model becomes one of the packages, the choice of which was added to the initial cost of $ 348.

Let's sum up
Cup of Swarlet SS Chevil 1970 was the final machine, such as Muscle Cars, which was very popular worldwide. There was similar due to the adoption in 1971 a number of laws that limited emission rates after the fuel crisis. Based on this, the manufacturers did not have anything, how to reduce the power of their motors. A number of changes touched Chevrolet, when it came out next car With the acquisition of the motor only 245 hp After such changes, enthusiasm to the special model of the machine began to subscribe, which was the consequence of the completion of the production of Chevrolet SS Chevelle in 1977.
