Chevrolet Small Block 1955- 1998 number 4

by Ross Mills

In the land of roaring engines and screeching tires, the 1967 Chevy 302 engine strutted its stuff with a high-rise aluminum intake and a chromed dipstick tube that said, “I’m shiny and I know it!” With a conservative 290 hp but secretly packing closer to 376 hp, it was like a bodybuilder in a tuxedo.

Whether burning rubber on the track or flexing its muscles on social media, this iconic car has consistently revved up the excitement for drivers.
