I thought I read somewhere the L35 was dropped for '70.

If that was true, it should be an LS3 car, right?

As far as availability of the 396/402 in the Chevelle line:

1969: L35 (325hp) was base engine for SS cars.
1970: L34 (350hp) was base engine for SS cars; L35 dropped; LS3 (330hp) available in non-SS cars.
1971: LS3 (300hp) was base engine for both SS and non-SS cars. L34 dropped.

And yes, this wagon is a factory LS3/M20 car. The owner had a scan of the build sheet on his FB page showing the drivetrain.

That looks great Bill! Can't wait to see this car in person when you get it back on the road. I'd love to have station wagon from the late 60's too so I'm looking forward to your thread on it.
