1971 LS6 Chevelle SS Production

[Geoff Padgett]

Hello
I felt that i must reply to this one. The engine that i currently run in my 70 LS-6 car was purchased many years back and is a 1972 crate LS-6 (all date coded) #289 block, #291 heads and was never taken apart when i got it, hell it is still the standard bore with the O.G. pistons, crank, manifold. the only thing that i did when i rebuilt it was grind the crank 10/10 CRR on the deck with no Vin # just thought i would reply. Geoff.

Geoff...I'll add to your post as well. I bought a 454 long block engine off a friend of mine this past fall. It too was a 289 block 291 heads and also has CRR deck stamping and no vin #. He's had it for at least 20+ years just collecting dust and was never decked or rebuilt. I'll have to take a better look at it when I return home from Afghan-land in a month or two. It just seemed really odd about the motor and the stampings but this may shed some light....Thanks
