1956 Corvette Engine Bay View

1956 Corvette Engine Bay View
Chuck Olson’s ’56 Corvette
Don’t let the docile-looking aqua rocker covers fool you—you’re looking at a monster of a small-block mill. Winston Cup–inspired Buick-style symmetrical-port Dart heads allow the cfm numbers to support over 530 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque. Don’t spend too much time looking for the master cylinder either—it’s hidden inside the passenger compartment, leaving the firewall totally smooth. The hydraulic-clutch master cylinder that engages the Richmond six-speed transmission is also hidden under the dashboard. The result is a tasty, uninterrupted view of the engine, braided stainless hose, and ceramic-coated pipe. The underside of the car is done just as cleanly. All the hoses and lines run through the frame tubing. View Related Article
