Wondering where a clean frame could have come from unless a totaled car ? Have you had the replacement frame checked for square and plumb on a frame rack ?

What I have done is check if for square every which way. All good. Anything that could be measured for square, I measured. I figured if it was in a wreck, SOMETHING would likely be out of square.

It’s always fascinated me that the 350/370 LT1 was $158 more expensive than the 454/390 LS5 motor. Chevrolet was certainly proud of that screaming little Mouse motor! It’s also interesting to note that Chevrolet waited until the 4th model year of the 350 SBC’s production before they finally stabbed a solid lifter camshaft in it along with that beautiful aluminum intake manifold & Holley, etc. to create a max effort small block Chevy. I may love the BBC (jokes aside!) but I also have a soft spot in my heart for LT1’s and their L79 little brothers.

Did the Vette frame get the VIN stamped on it like the Chevelle?

Original nodular iron flywheel. Dated Dec. 69, which about right for my Feb 11 built car.

Original trans tag and stamps.
The first digit on the tag is a 3. Covered up with grease.

Holley Carb. Apparently, the original was swapped out somewhere along the way.
This one looks pretty grimy, but it ran perfectly. No hesitation; no flat spots. Has correct metering plates. 6333 & 4519. As you can see, this one is dated fourth week of May, 1970, so not original to my Feb 11 car. I was told by a member here that this is actually a very desirable date code. Same carb was used on 1970 Z/28 with manual trans, and on the Yenko Deuce. I will probably send it off to Eric and have it restored. Will then ask a ridiculous amount of money for it, and hope to parlay that into purchasing a Dec 69 or Jan 70 carb.
