70 L89 engine
I am restoring a 70 L89 and am hoping someone can tell me what;
type of head bolt design was used Type of exhaust manifold bolts were used (such as all washer head or no washers for example or were they like the cast iron heads) Type of head bolt design on the intake I know exactly what was used on a normal BB with aluminum intake but not sure on an L89 with aluminum heads. Since this is the only 70 L89 known to exist, if any of you 69 owners can share close up photos of your survivor or perfectly restored L89 cars bolts look like it would be much appreciated. Rick

You know the car well as it was in your L89 showcase. Now in the beginning stages of undergoing a complete and correct nut and bolt restoration.

Though it was a nice restoration especially considering it was done in the previous restorers garage and he was not a professional. Unfortunately there were just too many reproduction parts, incorrect colors, pitting in the frame that was not body worked, etc and the new owner said he wanted it perfect so off we go.

This specific car in my opinion is the pinnacle 1970 Chevelle. (That is my opinion only) To find one with better options, history, documentation one would need a flux capacitor. Ryan W31
