The SS, meant big block motor, in 70. There were several versions of the big block available, in that car. So, anywhere from 375, to a little over 500, depending on which engine you chose. One way to tell which big block a particular car came with, is to look at the factory tach. Whjere is the red line? 5500, would have been a lower performance motor. 7000, would have been your higher output, rat motors. Also, back then, technology for the automatic tranny's, was pretty non existant, so most of the "nastier" motors, required a manual trans, which, most Chevelles, even the SS's, had automatics. The build sheet on those cars, depending on which plant they were built at, was either under the rear seat, or, under the lower seat cushion, on the pass., side front.
