This is a beautiful "resto-mod," of a 1969 Camaro with a big-block 454 cranking out nearly 600 hp!

They did however make the "puny" SS 396 in 1967... in the early more stylish 67 body... stock off the assembly line.
My younger sister had one. The boys on the block DID NOT mess with her. She also team roped heel on the rodeo circuit.
This one is nice, and does honor the traditional "No Replacement for Displacement". My favorite ride was my Plymouth GTX 440 off the showroom floor stock.

Yes, indeed.
I had a 1968 El Camino SS 396, with the Corvette engine (LS-6, if I recall). The "stock" 396 pulled 375 bhp, the Corvette version a whopping 425! I stuck air shocks, a Hurst shifter, a set of Doug's headers, big fat radial tires (a shocker, back in the days of "street slicks" ) and took her to the strip.
I walked away winning C Stock at 13.2 seconds, 108 mph.
Not bad for a truck!
The years 1955-1957 and 1967-1969 were so good for the automobile buying public!

The Big-Block was expanded again, for 1970, to 453.96 cubic inches (7.4 L), with a 4.250 in (108.0 mm) bore and 4 in (100 mm) stroke. The 1970 Chevrolet Corvette LS5 version of this engine produced 390 hp (291 kW) and 500 lb·ft (680 N·m), and the LS6 engine was rated at 450 hp (340 kW). It has been suggested that the LS6 was substantially underrated and actually produced well over 500 horsepower (370 kW) as delivered from the factory, although there is no empirical evidence to support this claim. Indeed, the AHRA ASA (Showroom Stock Automatic) Class record-holding Chevelle LS6 for the 1970 season posted a best of season trap speed of 106.76 mph (171.81 km/h),[11] which suggests something on the order of 350 "as installed" (SAE Net) HP for a 3,900 pounds (1,800 kg) car and driver combination. Indeed, Super Chevy Magazine conducted a chassis dyno test of a well-documented, well tuned, but production-line stock 1970 LS6 Chevelle and recorded 283 peak HP at the wheels[7] - a figure that lines up quite well with the previously referenced 350 SAE Net HP figure.
An even more powerful version, producing 465 hp (347 kW) and 610 lb·ft (830 N·m), of the 454, then dubbed LS7
