427 shp lx code and Cy 400 transmission
 

You don't see these very often. 1969 l71 with high upshift 400 transmission.

It's a cool motor. Sold on FB Market place last week. Seller wanted in the $7500 range. Rob

----Rare piece for sure. One of my favorite combos on a 69 Vette. Leave it in low and let it shift itself and it'll scare you to death. Ask me how I know....Bill S

L71 and CY Tranny...
 

If these parts were in good shape, that was a very fair price.

I bought it. L-71 engine, CY trans and 6 bolt convertor. still bolted together. fuel pump, water pump and starter still attached.

Great deal.. I seriously thought about it. Congrats on the purchase !

The CY transmission was redesigned for the 50 Fred Gibb Novas. on July 12, 1968, a dealers bulletin was published concerning these transmissions with higher shift points and reinforced convertors for the torque and rpm's of solid lifter engines. The Novas were built the first 2 weeks of July, 1968. In showing of the transmission tag on this combination, the tag reveals a low serial number. Wondering what the 840 heads dates are?

December 17,1968 looks to be the Trans assembly date.Makes sense for a Feb 7th,1969 engine assembly date.

block is A-6-9 840 are A-16-9
