Re: Why no L35 in 1970?
Thanks for the replies guys. Yes, the LS3 did not become a BB RPO until 1971. Maybe adding the LS5 and LS6 to the RPO Chevelle/Camino engine list had something to do with dropping the L35, and Chevrolet thought they had enough engine variations for 1970. So, since you couldn't get the L35 in a Chevelle or El'Camino, you couldn't get it in a Camaro or Nova.

Re: Why no L35 in 1970?
There definitely was an LS3 available in the Chevelle in 1970. I've personally seen build sheets for some 1970 Chevelles stating the option "LS3".
