Re: LS6 engine on ebay
[ QUOTE ]
What car would this engine have been for? [/ QUOTE ] This motor is just a CE assembly. I had a casting date of 1972 with a CRR coded assembly. It happened to use the 1972 casting number block, but it had all the correct internals and was a T0422CRR pad stamping.

Re: LS6 engine on ebay
Ther were plenty of assembled engines sold over the counter in the early seventies that had codes . You could buy a complete LS-6 for No Money. They sold all of the engines that way. L-79's were like 370.00 for a complete longblock back then. There a lot more engines out there than You may think, That goes for all of them.

Re: LS6 engine on ebay
Yep, that 'CRR' block stamping was used up until about 1972. Why they weren't stamped 'CE' like most other crate engines, I don't know. I currently have one of these 1972 CRR LS-6's in my '55 Chevy Gasser. It happens to be a '289' casting for the cylinder case but also has the closed chamber, rect. port cylinder heads and pancake aluminum intake manifold with all 1972 casting dates.

Re: LS6 engine on ebay
That's just like what I had in a 1970 LS5 Corvette that I wanted so badly to be a 1970 LS6. I had the same '289' casting numbered block also.
