Odd 72 SS Chevelle
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.

Re: Odd 72 SS Chevelle
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.

Re: Odd 72 SS Chevelle
The 350-2 with the 373 12 bolt posi seems like a odd combination, makes me wonder what was the reasoning.

Re: Odd 72 SS Chevelle
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.

Re: Odd 72 SS Chevelle
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.

Re: Odd 72 SS Chevelle
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.
