To answer your question Dennis, it would fit perfectly where a 396 was removed.

At least the long block would...was the L-78 intake the same height? I seem to recall there being a concern from GM about the fact that they would need to alter the Camaro's hood on fitment issues for what they wanted to do.

Re: 70 copo 454 camaro?
 

The '70 intakes are shorter because Chevrolet was anticipating putting the LS6 in the 'Vette...they didn't (until '71), but the rest of the car lines suffered because of it.

Re: 70 copo 454 camaro?
 

Ahh. That kind of rings a bell now. But now that I think about it, I kind of think the "old" L-88 hood kind of enhanced the lines of the Vette a bit.

I'd still like to build a "What if GM did it?" LS6 Camaro.

Re: 70 copo 454 camaro?
 

You think they had rearend/frame stabilization i.e.warranty concerns about putting a 450 Horse Powered engine in front of a subframed Car in 1970?
Just look what K.BarnHart did at Collinsville last September.

Re: 70 copo 454 camaro?
 

It would look something like this 454 Camaro but hopefully a little cleaner. With regards to the rearend, Harrell put this engine and trans in front of a stock 3:08 rear and it has held up.

now i'm wondering, how about a 70 nova copo LS6 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif396/425blr

Re: 70 copo 454 camaro?
 

Rick do you remember what manifold is sitting on the motor to get it to clear the hood?

Re: 70 copo 454 camaro?
 

I believe it's a stock 70 LS6 intake with factory open element air cleaner.

Thanks Rick.
