Well nightprowler, Chevy put the LS6 in the 70 Corvettes (pretty much the same as a 68) right from the factory. And indeed they did haul a$$. NHRA had them in A/Stock if I remember correctly which pretty much put's them at the top of the factory heap. My roommate had a 69 Vette with the 390 hp 427 in it and that was pretty darn quick on the street, even with 3.08 gears. I can only imagine what the LS6 would feel like. Rear end was the weak link.

P.S. Me thinks the L-88 might have been the first "crate" motor. Didn't the LS7 have aluminum heads too?Last edited by Stu Cool; 05-27-2009 at 01:10 PM.
Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

I bought the 76 in August , but haven't been able to work on it. When I get a chance I'll post some pictures.
