--------Is Hooper correct when he makes the statement that LS6s were internally balanced??? I cant remember seeing any LS6s that were internally balanced except in racing circumstances with heavy metal slugs..........Bill S

Should say "were not internally balanced"

The Yunick 500001 Camaro is Supposed to be one of the LS6 Mules that were built.
The LS6 engine from the car was supposedly found under the bench. Hopefully the car is being restored correctly; It has a lot of impossible to replace parts on it. This is all second hand info but you never know ![]()

Bruce, I know a gentelmen in AZ had what he belived to be a prototype-mule L-S6 70 camaro. I remember my friend talking with him at length about the car and documenting it. I don't belive that he has found any documentation for it yet...I'm just a little pee-on in this hobby and I have heard several refrences to this car all from diffrent sources so...I thought it was discussed on this board 3-4 years ago...I can't for the life of me remember his name...maybe Dave

No Bruce I did not have a bad night, that was a joke and was referring to any sightings of a factory LS6 Camaro as just that, sightings. Sort of like Elvis, UFO's, Sasquatch, etc.. I just don't want anyone believing that other then a posssible prototype and someone elses "pilot" car, there were any factory production LS6 Camaros built.
The ad says Yunick prototype LS6 pilot car not factory built LS6 Camaro. As Charley pointed out it might have been an original 6 cylinder. What does make it unique is that it's the first Norwood Camaro built. I would buy it just for that reason alone. My 70 Z had 4 wheel disc brakes on it when I bought it does it make it a 1970 Z/28 Pilot car? No, just a car someone modified. The guy might not have had a famous name like Yunick, Yenko or Harrell but modified just the same. This post has made me think about a possible project. 1970-81 Camaro, BB, 4 speed, 4 wheel disc's. Hmmmm. Rick H. |
