Default Re: Black LS-6 Chevelle No Reserve

VIN # 136370R244680
He says it's a real deal LS-6 &amp; the original born with drivetrain,yet his P-O-P says different &amp; that it's an LS-6 engine with an L-78/LT-1 Trans &amp; an L-34 3.31 rearend.[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]
After I asked the Q below,I just followed up by asking if he could please show photos of the trans tag &amp; rear axle tube stampings.
Hopefully he'll post those.

<span style="font-style: italic">Q:Is it the original Born with 46 year old engine?..is it the original born with 46 year old TH400?...is it the original born with 46 year old 3.31 posi?..Thanks. Jun-20-16
A:The engine block is a 512 block with cast date of March 4 1970. Car build date was third week of May 1970 at Arlington plant. Heads and manifolds check out with respect to dates and part numbers. Trans code is 70 CW 299 assembled 2/2/70. Rear end code shows build date of 9/2/69 and matches 331 ratio. Numbers on protecto plate all match the VIN, Engine and Transmission codes. Based on all the research I have done, the drive train is original born with the car. Car is two owner car last 20 years. Previous owner (a friend) also verified numbers.</span>
