All you could see was that long front end.That car also stopped and handled very well considering it was almost stock as far as suspension goes.

Yes, I agree . My 70 LT-1 roadster M21 3.70 would lift the front end up that all you saw was that long nose. What a fun car. I’ve had several solid lifter big blocks and the 70 LT-1 is a small block that thinks it’s a big block. I’d red line that motor through every gear time and time again and it never skipped a beat. I owned that car for 22 years and sold it to a guy in Switzerland to buy a 66 L72 coupe. I wish I kept it.

Ha....I’m in the middle of finishing up a drivetrain rebuild on a 70z for my dad so if the deal doesn’t happen I’ll get a pretty good taste of the 70 LT1. The car is part of a two car deal that I’m trying to put together. Since the corvette is missing the original block, I mostly just want to get the other car. So we will see.....

So what would be the difference between a 1969 350/350Hp motor in a vette compared to the 1970 LT1 in a vette??
