BluePrint Engines To Bring Custom Bel Air, 16-Cylinder Engine to 2026 SEMA Show

Show attendees can see a fully reworked 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air & a 1,250-horsepower V-16 built from two LS engines at this year’s SEMA Show…

BluePrint Engines has partnered with CAL Automotive Creations of Bennington, Nebraska, to debut a fully custom-built 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air in the BluePrint Engines booth at 12:30 p.m. PST on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. Built by Andy Leach and CAL Automotive Creations, the one-of-a-kind Tri-Five is powered by a BluePrint Engines 598-ci GM Big Block Compatible engine paired with a Bowler 4L80E transmission riding on an Art Morrison chassis.

Every detail of the Bel Air has been extensively reworked, including reshaped quarter panels and custom nickel-plated billet components crafted by CAL Machine. CAL Automotive executed the bodywork and custom-color paint in-house, while the refined interior was a collaboration between CAL Automotive and Santana Interior Design. Completing the build is a set of one-off wheels by Leading Edge Machine.

Fuller Moto To Debut Twin-LS, 1,250-Horsepower V-16 Engine

Builder Bryan Fuller of Fuller Moto created a 1,250-horsepower, 16-cylinder engine by pairing two BluePrint Engines 427 LS engines to power his Hot Wheels-inspired, 19-foot Cadillac Fleetwood. The ambitious project came together during a five-day builder challenge, bringing industry-leading metal shapers and fabricators together to transform the Fleetwood. At its heart is the one-of-a-kind powerplant, featuring custom-fabricated, 3D-printed and billet components engineered to mate the two LS engines into a single 854-cubic-inch package.
