Kids! A '70 "SS" could have been either small or big block. "SS" was more trim package than engine, beyond "SS" meaning V-8. In other words, "SS" didn't mean a stovebolt 6. But the engine size and power varied..."SS396" for example, meant a big block of 396 Cubic inches displacement..."SS 454" was VERY "special" and rare...probably the only Chevrolet worthy of taking on a Mopar 426 hemi back in the days of midnight drags...
