Under the hood sits a CARB-compliant 6.2 L LS3 V8 E-Rod crate motor producing 430 horsepower and 425 lb-ft of torque. It is paired with a 4L65E four-speed automatic transmission and a SuperMatic transmission controller. An aluminum driveshaft sends power to a Chevy S10 7.5-inch rear end with an Eaton LSD and 4.10 gears. The Bel Air rides on Eaton springs, Monroe shocks, aftermarket sway bars, 2-inch drop spindles, and a Saginaw 605 power-steering box. A set of Camaro 18&#215;7.5-inch steel wheels with a custom center cap cover C4 Corvette disc brakes front and back. The Bel Air averaged 23 mpg on the Hot Rod Power Tour from Florida to Michigan. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?attachment_id=83115\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-83115\"><img
