'70 #s LS5/4-sp Chevelle
Not a great resto by any means, but appears to have its original CRN LS5 block.

CRN is a Monte Carlo block for automatic. CRT is Chevelle manual trans.... not original.
Which would seem to indicate the vin tag is also from the Monte "donor"...

Are we looking at a factory assembly line stamping mistake?

That’s interesting that the CRN code is Monte specific - many of the online references show it as Chevelle with manual trans. You know what they say about truth on the internet

I meant the CRN versus CRT, did they stamp an N when it should have been T.

The “R” is for Arlington Texas assembly plant. I don’t believe that the 1970 Monte Carlo was built there…….?
 As stated above, stamp on the block appears to be ?204 making it either 1204 or 0204. Kurt
