My '71 SS454 El Camino has a white faced 6500 RPM redline tach. I have owned this car since the early 80's and know its history into the 70's. Obviously its not an LS6, but I think it lends credence that at some point an LS6 nearly made it into the 1971 line-up. It just seems crazy that they would put that tach into a hydraulic liftered engine. It would just be inviting warranty issues. Weird things happened.
