Absolutely correct, but the ONLY code  that  absolutely indicates an SS
is  W for the 454 motor.  All of the rest of the motors could be had in
non SS vehicles.   In 72 the 454 was ONLY available in an SS.

I'd say either a screw up at the 
factory,someone's replaced a fender and not the emblem or one's not really 
a factory 454 car. The SS could be had with either a 402, 
350-4,350-2 or a 454 in 71. The SS-454 was a different order code and got 
the 454 emblem as well. Goes back to gotta get the build sheet to prove 
the engine - even the SS from 69 on.

Check http://www.chevelles.com/shop/ss_ident.html#71for 
full details.

I Really cant believe we're going to get into another Pis_ing Match about the 71-72 Engine Option's..AGAIN?



Both aren't original 454 cars SS wo had 350 


My "Mighty" 2 Barrel 350ci Steed.. came equipped right behind a LS5 on the production line.I was at Fisher Body, Kansas City Missouri and watched the Chevelle roll off the line. (Quite the excitement for a 12 year old!)

I reiterate..."The SS could be had with either a 402, 
350-4,350-2 or a 454 in 71. The SS-454 was a different order code and got 
the 454 emblem as well." Just curious how you can tell "both" aren't 
original 454 cars from the description given?

Questions for the list

I was wondering if someone could tell me something about a 71' chevelle SS. 
My question is what is the differance between a car with SS over 454 on the 
front fender, and one that just has SS on the front fender.. both cars are 
orginal 454 cars.

Thanks

Donnie
