The same 'motion experts' that see this thread would also see the thread where it was..but, this is a better place anyway.

In your original post You stated that you have no paperwork on the motor. And you asked for help in identifying what you have. But apparently, you do have paperwork documenting exactly what you have. So now you seem very sure about what you have and do not want anyone's opinion on what they think you have. And now You are asking for help in building a Motion clone??? With all due respect, is this what you are asking?

Not familiar with "Stage II"...I only know of the PHASE III...I would be curious to know what was involved in the Stage II package.

I believe that Joel's packages changed throughout the years from the late 69s into some of the conversions he did later in the 70's. Just from a few cars that I have seen. But appaently the Phase III cars were the most bad-ass !!! But I'm sure a 70 Phase II motor had to be pretty awesome since the factory LS-6 had 450 HP stock...Does it have a horsepower rating on the paperwork?

So have you had any luck in your search for a donor car to put your cool find into ? There are people on this site that might know where to find a nice body. I'd love to see/hear that motor fire up again..just knowing it was built by Motion...I never saw a '70' Chevelle Motion car...What else did the car get? Did it have sidepipes?? Good Luck with it !!!

Not saying there couldn't be one, but Joel has said you either had a regular Motion car or the mods went straight to Phase III. There was no in-between. No Phase I or Phase II.

I think there is a green one in the Otis Chandler book.

I believe I remember seeing Motion advertising for different phase motor set-ups somewhere...with separate prices.....

But I know of a 70 Camaro that was Phase III converted in 1976 that did not have the same parts on it that some of the earlier Phase III cars had. Unfortunately I do not have a copy , but I did see the actual Motion reciepts and list of parts. It did not have the same intake and 3 barrel carb that many of the earlier cars had. It had typical finned aluminum Motion valve covers, but no Motion emblems on them. This is why I believe that his packages changed somewhat throughout the years with technology/ parts availabilty, etc.
