Odd 72 SS Chevelle

[beater68427]

I noticed a old 72 Chevelle bracket race car sitting and it decided to follow me home.. The car is a 72 SS with the BD trim tag has f41 suspension came originally with a 373 posi 12 bolt (now holding 456's)the car is 100% rust free with its original panels still on it, but looks rough with the spray can primer all over it,the car is a bit hacked up its been a bracket car for years and will probably stay that way. The original color is code 14 pewter silver with a white top and stripes with white seats, the odd part to me is the original engine code was 350 2 barrel?? I have some old LS-7 crate engines I think im going to stick one of those in and a quick paint job for another beater.

Yup...1972 Chevelle Super Sports could come with nearly any V8 Chevy had at that time.
From 130Hp/307cid,165Hp/350cid 2bbl,175Hp/350cid 4bbl,240Hp/402cid,270Hp/454cid.

The 350-2 with the 373 12 bolt posi seems like a odd combination, makes me wonder what was the reasoning.

[Mr70]

Agree...as my 1st car was a 1972 Chevelle SS with the 350 4bbl and a 3:73.
Quick as hell off the line for a few feet,then no more power after that.

I thought the 307 was the only engine you could not have in an SS?

[Mr70]

The 307 was possible in an SS,beginning in '72.And with either a Powerglide or a TH350 Trans. too.

And mine came with a 2:73 rear from the factory,not 3:73.
Still a slug.

I don't remember 307 SS anything..........

[Mr70]

Oops..you're both right.I stand corrected.
No 307 was possible on an SS.
Never saw one personally,but was told by another he had one of the few.
Just found out his was a Heavy Chevy originally.
