1970 Chevelle with a LS3 V8

1970 Chevelle with 585 horsepower LS3 V8

The Roadster Shop is responsible for this very mean looking pro-touring 1970 Chevelle. The body sits over a full Roadster Shop FAST TRACK chassis with a four-link rear suspension. The engine is a 585 horsepower LS3 with a top-mounted throttle body. This seems to be very popular now in this classics. It gives you a “vintage” look while still keeping modern EFI.

  1. I’m using a 2015 LS3 out of a Camaro along with the 6 speed manual in my
    70 Chevelle. This is my first LS swap but I’ve been building cars all my life and this will probably be my last build as I’m 62 and hopefully I’ll be driving it by my birthday July 2nd. Any pointers you can give me would be appreciated.
    Thanks Bruce Martin
