Default Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 Rebuild + Details

Sorry, but I don't get it. I think you've gone to a lot of trouble to document a very, very nice LS6. But dropping the CR takes away much of what makes up the 1970 LS6. If it was me (and of course, it isn't -- it's your car and you can do what you wish, however you did solicit opinions), I'd be mixing gas. I'd ask myself how much do I really drive this thing a year. Five hundred miles? A thousand miles? How much trouble is it to buy some race fuel and mix it?

Some guys get it and some guys don't, in the end i will be building the motor to my taste.
You have to do what makes you happy not others and i just hate having that high octane fuel sitting around my house and then bringing it with me before i fill the tank.
Car will still perform great when i am done.
I know some of you disagree with me but what can i say,in the end it is me that has to be happy with my decisions. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Well you're the one who asked for opinions. I gave you mine. If you have a gas lawn mower (leaf blower, generator, chain saw, etc.) and you store fuel for it, it's just as dangerous. 87 octane is no less &quot;dangerous&quot; than 115 race fuel.

And we agree, its your car, so do whatever you want.
