Re: ls6 70 chevelle motor
[ QUOTE ]
is that a restamp? [/ QUOTE ] I wouldn't think that someone would stamp a VIN on the engine for a car that they don't own, nor know who owns it.

He has the Canadian docs for the car, says he knows the car and it's history and knows the full VIN. He even states he would love to see the engine back in the original car. All someone has to do is get themselves a 1970 Chevelle or Malibu, buy the motor, tranny and docs for $17k as he has advertised and whammo, instant LS6 with Canadian documentation. What a deal, huh? You can't tell me someone's not thinking about that. Plus if the original car has been destroyed and can not be found, that makes it even better. It's wrong but I bet it has happened before. Rick H.

Re: ls6 70 chevelle motor
You would still be missing the Dash vin tag unless you know of someone who's making those!

Re: ls6 70 chevelle motor

Re: ls6 70 chevelle motor
Having looked at many 1970 Chevelles over the Years the general rule is Baltimore, Atlanta ,Kansas are top deck , but note Kansas cars are a larger 3/16 font and stamped upside down generaly. Balt cars have a unique twist there are quite a number of Feb built cars that display a 188 first three digits of the vin as the O and the B must have been damaged and they inserted the 88 into the gang holder during this period. The vin's are 1/8 for the other plants. I have inspected an April built , documented LS-6 that had the vin stamped on the deck and on the oil filter boss as well. You can get a lost title easily and the that makes that engine a home run to the rebody guys looking to recreate a real one . Make a note of the vin as this car may just be showing up again. Jim

[/ QUOTE ] Mark...as you know it's not legal but is easy enough to do here in Ontario where you can obtain title to something that's non-existant (like the five ZL1's deal)...then add a crookster-repop Vin and Cowl tag to match the docs...another 'matching numbers' LS6 is 'born again'! . ~ Pete

Re: ls6 70 chevelle motor
He's been doing that for Corvettes since the early 80's and everybody knows about it...so I don't think he's too worried about getting caught
