For the overspray and paint details, I am curious if the painting of the engine would be the same on this OTC 1972 version of the LT-1 versus the techniques in use at the time of the original run of 1970 assembly line LT-1's? In other words, were the replacement engine built at Flint in the same way using the same methods as the assembly line engines, or did they batch these in a different department where they were perhaps more hand assembled? If so, this may not be a good template to use for a letter perfect 1970 restoration.
