1970 Monte Carlo INFO -_ LS6_-_

[Mr70]

I have yet to see an authentic documented 1970 Monte Carlo LS-6 built from the Factory.If at least one was produced,it would've appeared in some form by now.Regardless of what some parts books say,it never came to fruition.

I guess this car was a clone. LS-6, M-22 and it says 3.38 posi rearend. It was owned by Ron Sanders, Whiting, Iowa

Years ago when I was a member of Super Chevy's Ltd I recall there being a few supposed LS-6 Montes among the club members.........never say never.

I believe the same thing goes for the 70 monte convert!!!But i do know where 1 is and he bought the thing brand new and its a 350 4 spd car

Now that is one build sheet I would like to see.

There were no LS-6 Montes Factory Built, of course that's not to say someone didn't do it at a dealership, or a COPO might have slipped through, but you would need an original buildsheet to prove it's existance. LS-4 was the Monte SS as far as I know, and according to the "Standard Catalog of Chevrolet". Also, dealer order books from 70 show only the LS-4 availble as a standard factory option in full size Chevy's. Some LS-5's were done, but all would have been a COPO. Special Order. All that said, any 454 Monte, Impala or Caprice is a car well worth owning.
All that being said, I have attached a Pic of my LS-5 engine, in my Full Size Chevy Wagon. And, yes, I do have the build sheet with it listed.
Let's keep them BIG Cars rolling !

"LS-4 was the Monte SS as far as I know"..
"Some LS-5's were done, but all would have been a COPO. Special Order."
Not true.
The only engine you could get in a 1970 Super Sport Monte Carlo was the LS-5 454/360HP.They produced 3823 of them for regular customers.
The LS-5 was a real RPO from the Factory for Corvettes-Chevelles-M/C-Big Passenger & Wagons.
Chevrolet never produced a 1970 Monte Carlo LS-6 or Convertible as a Regular Production Option.
