Ummmm.... you can't really tell what motor it has bud, just that its bigger than your average small or big block, if it ain't the one I'm thinking of it could be anything, 355 with lotsa gear, 383, 406/412/421 or even a 396/402 with a ton of work, but 427/454 is possible. Hairy cam alone isn't enough to justify 454, plus its nt all that hairy, you shoulda heard my old 355 with a Crane solid cam, 244/248 @ 0.050, thing wouldn't idle worth a damn. :p

and be so damn heavy and huge that you can't fit it into most cars.

It's not heavy or huge. V engines are pretty compact.

The guy who owns a chain of car dealerships here has one "secret" car he keeps at each of them tucked away.

They're all classics, and they're all amazing. I wish I was more of a gear head to shoot the sh!t with you guys but I'm not so... anyways.

He had a 69 SS. It won a bunch of awards, international too if I remember correctly. Anyways it was amazing. One day they brought it into the garage from the secret bat cave or wherever they kept it.

The acoustics of the garage including the beastly sound of the engine, combined, created an effect similiar to getting your chest punched in by a pro boxer, repeatedly.

Back in 73 I had a chance to buy a 68 RS/SS 427 four speed Camaro for $995.00.

I've been kicking myself ever since for passing THAT deal up! :(

We also make the most powerful car engines in the world. Using pushrods. Choke on that one.

That's just not true. For the last 10 years the most powerful and the fastest cars in the world have come from Europe.
