Look inside that Backseat for a Buildsheet..pronto!
If none found,I wouldn't place to much faith in that L just yet..
It could be a LS-3 w/rally dash option.
Noticed a 71-72 Steering wheel,so maybe the column was changed too possibly.
Is it holding front disc brakes?
Are there any signs of SS emblems on the fenders,rear bummper,grille & door panels?
I'd look for rearend boxed lower reinforcement arms,and F-41 frame ties as well as the axle tube prefix code stamped.
Whats the emission label and radiator tag identity?
Can you read that Tona block code,and the Trans. tag?


In 1979,one of our assignments in Autoshop was to drop a BB into a SB Chevelle,which we did & later added the rally dash,so I would look alot closer at this car.

Rick, Drivers side fender has SS 396 emblems on it,none on passenger fender,it's a different color,probably a replacement.The rear bumper has the SS pad,drivers door panel is gone,maybe in the trunk,but the passenger one says SS 396.I'll look at the front today when I go back.Has SS wheels and rear sway bar,it's in a large puddle now and not sure if I can get under to see control arms etc... I'll write down the vin and trim tag info today also.Gonna take some carb cleaner to spray on the engine pad so that I can see the numbers. Will also check the water pump,alternator numbers,looks like a long style AC fuel pump on it and also noticed the TCS solenoid mounted on the firewall. Will post some more pictures after I get back today.
