What cars did the 1976 454 engine come in?

The 1976 454 cubic inch (7.4L) big-block Chevrolet engine wasn't available in a huge range of cars compared to smaller engines. Its primary homes were in larger, more powerful vehicles. You'll find it in:

* Chevrolet full-size cars: Impalas, Caprices, and Bel Airs were common recipients. These were often high-performance or heavy-duty versions.

* Chevrolet trucks: Various models of Chevrolet pickups and possibly some larger SUVs used this engine. Again, likely in heavier-duty configurations.

* Cadillac: Some Cadillac models might have featured a version of the 454, though perhaps with different output specifications than the Chevrolet version.

* GMC Trucks: Similar to Chevrolet trucks, certain GMC models might have used the 454.

It's important to note that not *every* trim level of these vehicles received the 454. It was usually an option, often part of a performance or towing package, and less common in base models. The exact models offered with the 454 will vary depending on trim and package options. To know for certain if a specific 1976 model year vehicle came with the 454, you'd need to consult the original vehicle's documentation or a comprehensive resource on 1976 model year specifications.
