1970 LS6

[ne70ss]

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.

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

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?

the rear end code will tell you if it is a 454 car

If your trying o find out if it's a real LS6 does it have an M22 trans? What's the cowl tag and the rear end codes? I would go to Team Chevelles Forum and try and get these decoded in the tag forum.
