Default Re: 1970 Monte Carlo INFO -_ LS6_-_

I think a very safe answer to that question is NO!
from every piece of documentation I can get my hands on, there was no LS-6 offered in Monte Carlos in 70.
It was however an available option in 71, although no one to my knowlege has ever produced any document to prove that one of those exists either.
The closest I've seen/heard of is one Dick Harrell converted SS454 Monte to an LS6.
take a look here

I REMEMBER YEARS AGO 1 WAS IN HEMMINGS AND THE OWNER CLAIMED 6 WERE BUILT. I ALSO READ SOMWHERE ELSE THAT NUMBER OF 6 LS6 MONTE'S WERE BUILT ALSO.

I have yet to see an authentic documented 1970 Monte Carlo LS-6 built from the Factory.If at least one was produced,it would've appeared in some form by now.Regardless of what some parts books say,it never came to fruition.

Years ago when I was a member of Super Chevy's Ltd I recall there being a few supposed LS-6 Montes among the club members.........never say never.

notice the A/C compressor on the Monte referenced in the article??
Wasn't A/C not available on solid lifter cars??
Could it be a one-off deep groove A/C pulley??
