1447 HP PROCHARGED AND STREET DRIVEN ‘55 CHEVY

When we came across the ’55 Chevy owned by Loren Harris of Blue Ridge Auto Body we had to find a place for this beauty on the ProCharger blog.  This car was found on a farm and taken to the shop where it was transformed into what you see today.  The engine is an all roller 540cid BBC based on a Merlin 3 race block fed by a self-contained ProCharger F-3R-131 pushing 20psi of boost.  That power runs through the Turbo 400 trans and then to a set of 15″ Hoosiers out back.  with heated leather seats, an interior from a new Cadillac, a full AutoMeter instrument cluster, 10 point cage, and a mini-tub this driver is sure to turn every head it passes.

The best part about this beast is that it makes 1447 horsepower and 1107 lb-ft of torque and is street driven!  The owner likes the fact that the car will idle at 900 rpm without any worry of overheating or charging problems.
