This 1:6 scale Chevy Small Block Chevy V8 Street Rod Engine Die Cast Replica Engine from Liberty Classics is hand assembled with extreme attention to detail, featuring moving and removable parts all made to original specifications!

The Chevrolet small-block V-8 has been one of the most successful and durable engines in the history of the automobile. Since its introduction in 1955 Chevrolets, more than 60 million small-block V-8 Engines have been produced to power Chevrolet's passenger cars, trucks and vans, as well as some of the most successful circle track and drag racing cars. The small-block was designed to be smaller and lighter than other V-8s, yet it did not give up its potential for performance and power.

The original design of the small block remained remarkably unchanged for its production run, which began in 1955 and ended, in passenger vehicles, in 2003. The engine is still being built today for many aftermarket applications, both to replace worn-out older engines and also by many builders as high-performance applications.

The first generation of Chevrolet small-blocks began with the 1955 Chevrolet 265 in³ (4.3 L) V8. But it was the 350 in³ (5.7L) series that set the standard for high performance. The engine's physical dimensions (oversquare 4.00 in bore and 3.48 in stroke, 102 mm by 88 mm) are nearly identical to the 400 hp (300 kW) LS2 engine of today, but of course much has changed. It is by far the most widely used Chevrolet small-block; from the factory, it was installed in everything from station wagons to sports cars to heavy trucks.

These and many more details have been faithfully executed in this 1/6th scale model.
