And......They didn't even have to get into the Head/Piston Issue </div></div>


Chevrolet planet manager Fran Preve said &quot;The Tonawanda engine plant kept VERY accurate records on engines built during each model year. These &quot;Summeries of Engines Built&quot; list EVERY engine we built by assembly number and description. This number crossed over to a suffix code so from them I could determine how many of each SUFFIX CODE we built. Sometimes, as in the case of the L-89 engines built, I had further records. In these cases it was &quot;engine canceled, not replaced&quot; and then a date. In model year 1970 NO aluminum head LS6 engines were built. In the case of the L-89 engines in 1970, in October 1969 the L-89 396 option was canceled, not replaced. As far as the LS6/L89 NONE WERE BUILT.&quot;
