Welcome to StreetDreamsTexas as we celebrate our 19th year in the classic and muscle car business. The 1957 Chevrolet has been such a popular car for so many years that we've seen just about every engine/transmission combination turn up in these classics. Of all the drivetrain pairings that have thrilled us over the years, this 1957 210 has just about the perfect blend of cachet, performance, and rugged reliability. The first part of this dynamic duo is a Smeding Performance... Chevy 383 Extreme stroker motor that develops 458hp and 473 lb./ft. of torque (dyno sheet included). This sweet-sounding powerhouse is loaded with high-quality components including a new GM block with 4-bolt mains, high-grade 4340 forged steel crankshaft, 4340 forged steel rods, high silicon hypereutectic aluminum pistons with graphite coated skirts, reworked Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads with 2.02"/1.60" valves, a custom ground hydraulic roller cam with heat treated lobes, an Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap aluminum intake manifold, a Holley 780 cfm carburetor, MSD ignition, and very nice headers. Backing this impressive mill is a truly rare and legendary Muncie M22 'rock crusher' 4-speed manual transmission. You will not find a manual transmission with a more positive engagement or a more precise feel. Here's an interesting detail; during the frame-off restoration the frame was actually hot dip galvanized (!), making it virtually rust-proof. The body is in excellent condition with good chrome, trim, and glass and features some added Bel Air trim. The beautiful interior is sporting custom fabrics, an uncut dash, auxiliary gauges, and a modern sound system as well as amenities such as power front disc brakes and Vintage Air air conditioning. This is one of those cases where the whole is even greater than the sum of its (impressive) parts. Fast, fun, and gorgeous, this car has a lot to brag about.
