Unmolested LT1 Motor with 6000 Miles / CTB Coded
 

Hello Marlin,

You had asked for some pictures of my buddy's original and untouched 6000 mile LT1 motor and here they are for your review and analogy. I have only posted 2 pictures for now but have an additional 45 photo's I can send you for resto comparison purposes.

This shows the complete motor as intact and original.

Here you can clearly see the CTB crayon marks on the side of the block. I have an additional 45 photo's which include a lot of good tight shots of this unrestored and original 6000 mile LT1 motor. It belongs to a good buddy of mine and perhaps he can chime in and tell you how he acquired it. I told him you wanted photo's of the markings for comparison purposes and he was cool with me taking these.

You might also recognize the Yenko Deuce in the background. I believe this is car #122 and it belongs to a local friend who just brought it out to get some resto work done on the car. It just so happened to arrive last night and made an awesome backdrop for this motor to be photographed. (lol)

PM me and include an email address where I can send you the rest of the photo's that detail the original ink stamps, paint markings, pad stamping, and carb stamps.

Enjoy.....Graeme

Wow!! Excellent pics, I'd love the other 45 too. We have seen this CTB written upside down on only two other engines, good pic.

The deuce in the background was sold new at Kidder Knoefler Chev. in Sioux City Iowa. It was at SCR1 and sold shortly thereafter. The car was the 13th deuce built, stock #YS-122, 4speed, no p/s, and was 'found' on a used car lot in TN after a military guy traded it in on something. Car was sold through Johnny Griffin of G&K Corvettes in Gallatin, TN.

Not to start a flood of picture requests, but I do would like to get copies for my research files. And for no extra charge https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif ....

I would also be willing to host a web page for them provided that:

a) You want published at chevynova.org and
b) Marlin and the SYC comunity feel it would be ok to let this info out.

BTW, Anything sent for the research files is kept safe.

Thanks,
Greg

I am restoring my Yenko and would love to see the pictures. If they could be posted, it would be a great service for everyone trying to "do it right". Thanks.

Ok folks....

I sent the group of Photo's out and I believe that Greg Roberts will be posting them on the Nova Site at http://www.chevynova.org where you can then download them as required. These were cortesy of Mike Thorpe in Calgary and are intended to help anyone research or restore their CTB coded blocks the way they did them in the production line. Enjoy them...and thanks Mike!
