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. |

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

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.
