A guy I knew in high school in 1970, bought a brand new El Camino with the LS6 engine. He brought the car/truck over to us right after he bought it.
He told us that the insurance was cheaper if he got the 450 Horsepower engine in a pick-up rather than in the Chevelle.
I'll never forget when he opened the hood and showed us those "454 450 Horsepower" air cleaner labels.
