What engine in the musclecar years had the highest torque rating?


I'll go with the 1970 Cadillac Eldorado:
500 Cubic Inch V-8 (400 Horsepower at 4400 rpm)
Bore and stroke: 4.30 x 4.304 Inches
Compression ratio: 10.0:1
Torque: 550 ft. lbs. at 3000 rpm
Carburetor: Rochester Model 4MV Quadrajet (Special for Eldorado)
Exhaust System: Dual Exhaust to Muffler, One Outlet Pipe from Muffler

Your answer is probably the 1970 GS Stage I at 510.

Nova 1976 for one.

 


Shoot, not what I was looking for. I forgot to say, both are in the 60's. Not necessarily regular production.
