eBay Find: A Blown Hemi Powered ’57 Chevy Gasser


eBay Find: A Blown Hemi Powered ’57 Chevy Gasser

We’re getting excited to see the old school gassers at the 2011 Holley National Hot Rod Reunion, so excited in fact, we decided to go day dreaming on eBay to find a nose bleedin’, straight axle, hot rod of our own, and boy did we! With a engorged 392 Hemi, topped with a 6-71 blower, and a wild suicide spring/coil over front suspension, this baby fits the bill in spades. 

The Moon tank and bumper-less front end hit us right between the eyes, as does the classic flame job. There’s some hidden gems in here too, as the transmission is a Tremec TKO 600, which is a five speed manual job for those of you not hip to the jive. The Hemi measures out to 403ci and has 8.5:1 compression courtesy of Arias custom pistons. Those slugs swing on K1 rods, There’s an Isky roller cam in there, and a Joe Hunt tweaked Vertex Magneto lights the whole mess off. The mill makes 650hp with the blower being under driven, but a simple flip of the pulleys nets you an 6% overdrive and a tire shredding 800hp.

The front suspension and chassis setup is crazy looking, and we love it. The car would corner like a dump truck, and that makes us want it even more.
