1973 Chevy Truck Engine

Under the smiling skull on Hellion's hood resides a 5.7L, 350 V-8 that sucks in through a Holley Truck Avenger carb atop an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake. It also packs ported heads, a high-flow oil pump, and Hedman TorkStep headers pumping the stink out a 2 1/2-inch exhaust to Afterburner mufflers. Ignition has been switched from points to HEI and gets spark from an 80-amp alternator and Exide sealed gel battery. A K&N air filter and pre-filter cleans the air, while a Flex-a-lite fan pulls it through the radiator.
