Default 1970 454 Camaro

I was just wondering if anybody knew the 1/4 mile time for stock a 1970 454 Camaro and about how many were produced.

To my knowledge, they never produced a 454 in a camaro. The largest displacement engine for the camaro was the 396. Baldwin Motion might have done something like the Yenko and I think they did it but it wasn't a production car.

There wasn't a 454 1970 Camaro in production by GM from the factory. The 396 was the largest engine you could get.

Baldwin Motion did a '70 version with a 454 I believe, but I've never seen or heard of a Yenko '70 Camaro. Yenko did the '70 Duece Nova with the LT1 powerplant due to higher insurance costs.

The factory never produced a 454 1970 Camaro. Joel Rosen of Motion Performance on the other hand would take an SS 396 car and drop a 454 LS6 into it (these were "Phase I" cars). These were sold through Baldwin Chevrolet (hence the "Baldwin Motion" moniker). The "Phase III" cars (headers, bigger carb, traction bars, super tune, etc.) were capable of low 11 second 1/4 mile times.
