1970 LS6
 

Well, I finally bought a 1970 Chevelle SS last July. I bought the car as a roller with no motor or tranny, because I thought I knew some history of the car. Within a month I tracked down the original motor and had all owner history of the car. The car was actually located a block behind me growing up. The motor had made itself from Nebraska to Maine. And finally after 9 months of negotiations the motor now resides in my garage waiting for a rebuild. Here are a few pics.

Can someone help post some pics? This is the only picture it let me download. This is the car in 1972, a block behind me growing up.

Hey Steve, seen the photo already but love seeing it again. I would post some photos for you but am headed to Mecum. There are several people on board here that will post them for you. Hope to see the car soon.

Is this an original LS6 car? How did you manage to track down the motor so far away? Congrats on the car.

I very recently acquired a 1970 Chevelle as well. True Chevelle, big block, disc brake car. 100% original sheetmetal with just the nose missing. Car has lived its entire life in the high desert of Washington state and therefore has never seen any rust.

I am going to try and determine what motor was originally in the car - whether it be a 396, 454 LS5 or (highly doubt) 454 LS6.

I've read your story on TC before. What great past owner history.

that original picture looks like a black 66 Chevelle super sport or malibu in the background on the hill

Don't forget to include the LS-3 402/330HP as well.

Cool car engine up but base SS hood.

Yes, very true. I need to get time to try and look for a build sheet. I doubt there is one still there.

Without a build sheet - any other hints to look for to determine original motor?
