1957 Fuel Injected Chevrolet Bel Air
Since their first introduction of the legendary 1955 Bel Air V8 model, Chevrolet improved the specifications. They also upgraded the power, creating faster cars. But, for 1957, Chevy presented the most advanced engine option of all American car manufacturers at the time – fuel injection. They offered it as a performance package for the Bel Air and named it the Fuelie.
This engine included a special fuel injection induction system, replacing carburetors. The regular 283 V8 engine produced 270 HP with its standard dual quads. However, with fuel injection, this V8 engine could pump out 283 HP. Despite the small differences in output, the fuel injection option delivered power more efficiently than the standard intake.
