- In Need for Speed: Heat and Need for Speed: Unbound, the Bel Air's engine is listed as being an inline-6, but is portrayed with performance ratings matching the first generation 265 Chevy small-block V8 engine rather than the second generation Chevrolet Stovebolt "Blue Flame" inline-6 engine. Both engines were offered for the Bel Air in 1955.
