Wow!

That's really nice, but is it a '72 LT1 or is it a '70 LT1 that was sold in '72? There's a big difference in the heads and compression ration.

Confusing how this was written up. Agree with this comment. Its a 70 LT-1 Motor on the shelf but it was purchased in 1972, still a 1970 LT-1 engine, now that makes more sense.

Looks like a Camaro engine that was run and removed. Also the seller should have put the head P/N and head and block casting date for general information.

Part number on the crate may indicate application.
I can't see any evidence of prior installation.
interesting paint details.

Long water pump, spark plug wire hardware, stud on water neck for alternator bracket all say Camaro.

FWIW it has a 1970 '2019 distributor (1972 date though) in it.

Also "double hump" (probably '492 castings) 64cc chamber heads, so that is good for a 70 LT-1.

Also looks to be the OTC '2116 intake.

I thought at first the intake had been painted silver, but I think the silver paint on the head is from the lift hook.

Not seeing where this has been installed and run.

Would Chevrolet have sold a "crate engine" with a bellhousing and clutch (asking, I don't know)? Also I think that is a Camaro P/N on the distributor. Agree on the paint details, shows how it was done in a mass production environment.

Best home for that motor would be a low-mileage survivor Vega!
