'70 LS6 Chevelle pad pics or rubbings?

[Zedder]

I know this is probably a long shot, but here goes anyway...I am buying a '70 LS6 Chevelle and wondered if anyone has any engine pad stamping pics or rubbings they could post or email me to compare stampings with the motor in the car I am buying? It is an Atlanta car built in mid January with an M22. Thanks in advance for any help any of you can provide this newbie to the LS6 world http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I think this is an assembly line motor that was sold as an over the counter crate motor. It was never stamped with a vin and is coded as a 450/454 with an auto trans assembled on the 11th day of March '70. Notice the use of the "I" as the second "1" in the 11.

This is a 450/454 coded as a 4 speed assembled on the 10th of March '70 and installed in my Kansas built car. I realize these are not from the same plant as the car you are buying but the hp code and assembly dates are all stamped at Tonowanda. Hope this helps.

Thanks Dave, I really appreciate that http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif I really wanted to see the font on the CRV stamp, so you were very helpful! In fact, so helpful, I bought the car this afternoon http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif If anyone else has pad pics I'd still love to see them. Mark

Mark, Congratulations on the new ride! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif I'm guessing this is a done car so how about some pics? If not, a brief description would be nice. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks Dave http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif I just bought the car from another board member...really nice guy and a really nice car http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Now I gotta get the garage ready this weekend http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Congrats Mark---you will enjoy the LS6...what rear end ratio does it have? Feel free to go the webshots site listed in my signature to see some detail shots from my LS6.

Thanks MP http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif Very cool car you have there also and some great documentation! My car has the 4.10 rear, so it should move out quite nicely http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif I will get some pics/details and the buildsheet up on my website this weekend, so feel free to check it out.

Let me know if I can answer any other questions as a fellow LS6 owner. I will tell you that the 4.10 is pretty common (I have it also) and it makes the car tough to enjoy at freeway speeds. Great around town though for moving out quickly. I am looking forward to seeing detailed pics of your car...best of luck with it.

Mark,
Congrats on your purchase. You will enjoy. Sorry I did not respond to your e-mails as I was out of town.

Thanks Morris, I appreciate the offer. So far, the Chevelle owner's community has been pretty helpful http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

No problem Rick, I got your message this evening. Thanks again for all your help with the buildsheet etc. I'll be in touch next week http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif Thanks again guys.

Rick's a great resource; he was helpful to me when I first got my LS6.
