I have for sale my 1972 Chevelle ss 454 car. It had the original numbers matching LS5 454, M-22 4 speed and the original 12 bolt rear end. I have two original build sheets, original dealer check off sheet, original owners manual and the original selling dealers envelope
packet that the paperwork came in. I restored the car in 1987. At that time the paint and body work were done by
a local Chevrolet dealership which is still less than one mile from where I live. The gentleman who done the work
now runs the body shop. At that time the rear quarter panels and the front fenders were replaced with GM sheet
metal. The rest of the metal is still original to the car. The car is currently the original code 26 Mulsanne
blue that it was produced in. In 1987 all the drivetrain was rebuilt and put back into the car with many
performance upgrades. The car has since been sanded down and repainted in 2001 and still looks great. It has
always been garaged and only driven in nice weather since 2001. In approximately 2011 the original motor gave way
and big changes were made. I still have the original numbers matching LS5 block that will go with the car. The
car now has a Shafiroff Real Street 540 cubic inch big block putting out 625 HP on 91 octane pump gas. I encourage
you to go to the Shafiroff website and read through all the details on these engines. Very impressive. They start
with a Dart big M block, comp hydraulic roller camshaft and Brodix aluminum heads. It runs extremely strong but is
mild enough for a daily driver. Always runs cool and is a blast to drive. The engine alone was right at
$12,000.00 before ignition and carb. At the time of the engine changeover there were other huge changes made. The
car now has a Detroit Speed Level 3 suspension kit front and rear. It has 2 inch drop spindles, tubular control
arms, splined front sway bar, DSE steering gear box, adjustable coil over shocks front and rear, and much more.
The cost of the suspension was about $7,000.00 before installation. The braking system was upgraded to a CPP
Hydraboost set up along with Baer 4 wheel disc with slotted and drilled rotors. Cost of brake system was a little
over $3,000.00 before installation. Radiator is an aluminum unit from Griffin with dual electric fans. March
pulley system up front. Aftermarket air condition unit from Classic Auto Air. The car has the factory tach and
gauge package, upgraded Kenwood sound system. The rear end is the original 12 bolt housing with 3:73 gears, new
posi unit and new axles. Transmission is a close ratio Muncie with a Hurst Competition Plus shifter. This car
runs out very strong and handles awesome.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
Recharge Wrap-up: Indianapolis to switch 425 fleet vehicles to EVs, Chevy Corvette provides bat habitats
Tue, Nov 4 2014Indianapolis will deploy 425 battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles as part of its municipal fleet by 2016. The fleet will include such cars as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt and Ford Fusion Energi. The city will also reduce its overall fleet by 100 vehicles. In all, the revised group - called the "Freedom Fleet" - will save $8.7 million and 2.2 million gallons of gasoline over 10 years. Read more at Hybrid Cars. EVs with longer range would make vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid energy management systems more practical for the US. The idea of using EVs as energy storage for emergencies or times of high grid demand is currently being tested in Japan with Nissan's Leaf-to-Home system. The US is also interested in such capabilities, but the higher average energy use of American households would make larger batteries in EVs ideal for grid storage applications.

The factory, when constructed, will have a capacity of producing batteries for 100,000 cars per year according to the Korean company. The plant will supply batteries for Chinese automakers such as SAIC and Qoros. Construction is expected to be finished by the end of 2015 and LG Chem expects revenue of more than $933 million by 2020. Read more in the press release below. General Motors is using adhesive used in the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to create habitat for threatened bat species. Artificial bat caves could help alleviate white-nose fungus that leads to diminished bat populations. Leftover adhesive is used to create stalactites in the artificial caves, allowing them more structure to hang from. GM has also provided Volt battery covers to create nesting habitats for bats, which eat harmful insects and help pollinate plants. See the videos and read more in the press release below.
