70 copo 454 camaro?

To answer your question Dennis, it would fit perfectly where a 396 was removed.

At least the long block would...was the L-78 intake the same height? I seem to recall there being a concern from GM about the fact that they would need to alter the Camaro's hood on fitment issues for what they wanted to do.

The '70 intakes are shorter because Chevrolet was anticipating putting the LS6 in the 'Vette...they didn't (until '71), but the rest of the car lines suffered because of it.

[Fhakya]

Ahh. That kind of rings a bell now. But now that I think about it, I kind of think the "old" L-88 hood kind of enhanced the lines of the Vette a bit.

I'd still like to build a "What if GM did it?" LS6 Camaro.

You think they had rearend/frame stabilization i.e.warranty concerns about putting a 450 Horse Powered engine in front of a subframed Car in 1970?
Just look what K.BarnHart did at Collinsville last September.

It would look something like this 454 Camaro but hopefully a little cleaner. With regards to the rearend, Harrell put this engine and trans in front of a stock 3:08 rear and it has held up.

now i'm wondering, how about a 70 nova copo LS6 396/425blr

[DarrenX33]

Rick do you remember what manifold is sitting on the motor to get it to clear the hood?

[camarojoe]

I believe it's a stock 70 LS6 intake with factory open element air cleaner.

Thanks Rick.
