I used early 70s open chamber square port head ending in casting number 026.

That was the head used on the 71 454/425hp Chevelle....sounds like a great build. Any dyno numbers??

I think Chevrolet intended to use the head on this engine but they never made a 454/425 Chevelle.

It is my understanding a limited number of engines were produced and urban legend say a few pre-production cars were actually made [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Colvin's book lists the engine for 1971 and I've seen other literature showing the engine as an option that was 'cancelled' very early before any cars were built.

Here are a couple of links that discuss this very topic...

Those #026 heads have to be a pretty rare item...

Only in 1969 the SS396 was available on a base line 300 Deluxe model in either a Hardtop (coupe) or a 2 Door Post Sedan Model.

I don't normally comment. Good or Bad on cars listed as For Sale... That's just me.

This is a Gorgeous car. It's that simple. Love it!
