70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
A few member have asked what I have been up to lately. So here is the explanation. I pulled the LS6, M22 tranny and exhaust out of the car to make way for the new. The motor is now numbers matching to the car as is the tranny. Headers are gone to make way for exhaust manifolds and smog. Here are a few shots.
From the top.  Showing off Eric's carb work and mostly complete TCS.  The M21.

Looks great! When did you get the numbers matching (VIN matching?) engine for the car? I always thought the TCS was only for automatic cars though.

I believe Darren has a appropriately dated CKO coded engine. It is not the engine, born with his L-78 body.

I'm sure everyone is well aware that it is not the original motor. I am not hiding that fact nor do I care that it is not the "born with" motor.

Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
Ok, I was gonna say how in the heck did you find the original motor.
 So what is that TCS for exactly, I thought it was automatic only but maybe I'm thinking of the anti diesel solenoid. Isn't the L78 also supposed to have that fuel line support bracket that bolts up to that front carb mount stud? Looking good!
