Chevrolet 454 SS

The basic idea behind this model is to offer the biggest available engine in the lightest full-size truck. It was basically muscle car philosophy in truck form. That is why Chevrolet’s engineers took the 1990 Chevy 1500 pickup truck with a short bed option and added a massive 454 V8 engine. The enormous 7.2-liter V8 was good enough for 230 to 255 hp, which was a diminutive number, but it also had 385 lb-ft of torque, which made it really fly down the road.
