Apparently, Sports Car Graphic did a road test of a pre-production LS-7 Corvette... It would be neat to locate the issue it appeared in. I seem to recall a 13.8 e.t. with two people in the car.

Only one made from the factory & It's in the March 1970 Issue of Sports car Graphic.

There was a article on a LS-6 Convertible in a magazine in the late 80's, the car was Black with red interior and the article said something about the car having the "Brute Force option", what was this, or was it just the writers lack of knowledge or misinformantion?

That would be Bill Clements car which was sold at BJ about 4 years ago for $45K! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] My restoration customer and I got cold feet at the last second. Stupid, as it is said to be a real LS6, just not a real L89.

I bought an LS-7 long block from Shepard Chevrolet (Lake Bluff, IL) in the early '80's. Was a 12.5 to 1 motor w/cast iron OC heads. ZL-1 cam was not a fan of mufflers, as I recall. Dropped the compression a couple of points, opened the exhaust a little and the motor proved strong (revved like a small block), reliable and a bit more streetable than I expected. Fun.

-------I remember thinking that maybe the Chevelle was Bills when I saw it at Barrett-Jackson,if we are talking about the same car.It made quite a statement as the original engine was purported to be in the trunk.You would have been the right guy to take that project on,Rick,as it looked massive to me.Who ended up getting the car back then?..........Bill S
