1970 Monte Carlo INFO -_ LS6_-_

[SS427]

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.

Here is a Product Bulletin that I thought was topical.

hum it would have been cool if they had made it.
i wonder if you could take the convert top from the impala and re- work it to the mote that would be one of a kind. lol still think there has to be a at least 1 LS6 monte some were out there ?

This has actually been done by a friend of mine. He simply took a Chevelle convertible and transfered all the body parts from a Monte Carlo onto it including the firewall. A cowl induction hood was fabricated using an original Chevelle hood and grafted that onto the Monte hood. It was actually quite a simple transformation (all things considered) and turned out beautifully. This car was sold at BJ about 5 years ago, red with an LS-6. So there goes the "no Monte convert and/or LS-6 Monte" theory.

[Mr70]

I do remember that.
