When on a wild goose chase over the weekend to look at a supposed CRW 4.10 Chevelle rear only to get there and find a total piece of junk. As I was leaving he asked if I was interested in an LS6 engine. Long story short it came home with me. I have searched the VIN and have not been able to find the car and he thinks the car burned way back years ago but thought I would try to find it's home first. VIN is 10K191584 so it could be a Chevelle or El Camino and the casting date is B 11 70. Also has 291 heads on it.

Nicely done Rick, I'm sure you'll find the best home for it if the original car doesn't exist. Being a last six beginning w/ a 1, would this be a Baltimore or KC car as Vins below or any other possibilities?

It would have been a car built April 20th the way it falls in my sequence of buildsheets.
I have an LS5 sheet from Leeds that is that day, VIN 191361. |

Pete, the VIN starts with 10K so it is a Kansas car. I have some in my files that are close but just don't have anything on this car. I am pretty sure the car does not exist anymore but want to at least try before I decide what to do with it.

Tore the engine down today. Looks like I will may be selling the block if I cannot find the owner of the car. 454 stroke but internally balanced crank?, flywheel and harmonic balancer (NOT 454 style). MAJOR work done to the crank and rods, studded block, high pressure/volume pump, windage tray, 12.5 pistons, ARP bolts, .030 holes. I am tearing the engine down now. At least I will have a nice block and set of original heads but the internals are not what I use day to day unfortunately.

Thanks Rick! Even though the block will be used in a automatic LS6 built in Baltimore instead of Kansas it’s the closest CRR block I could find to fit my March 26 built LS6. If buy chance the car shows up one day I wouldn’t hesitate to sell it to the rightful owner. Cheers

I did track down some leads and was told the car had burned up in a body shop fire and was destroyed. The engine was not with the car at that time.
