Sure looks like it, from the tach... I don't know, you guys pick it apart and tell me.

You can't tell from that pics
at least the ridline on the tachometer is correct at 6.500.

Ask for more pics

It has 72 amber turn signals in the front. Wreaked?
He says " Most of the original body/paint" what does that mean?
"front disc brakes/rear DRUM brakes" not in 71
Where's the picture of the engine stamp pad?

Agree, need to see the stamp.

Has the wrong fuel line for a factory Holley.

Any small block engine that's retrofitted with cast valve covers automatically makes it an LT1. The Hurst shift handle makes the transmission become an M22.

I didn't think any c3 had rear drum brakes.

I had the twin to this car many years ago, bought it new, mine had the optional (body colored) hard top & I put 200S American mags on it, Hurst Comp. + shifter, the VIN. on mine was 194671S101719 , I still have paper work from when it was purchased. Oh, I also added a reverse light ('69 RR) to the dash just to the right of the tach. I still miss that car. Just sayin'.
Peace,,, moosie

Tough to call.

Looks like the intake is right. Looks like the valve covers are right. A/C delete is right. Hood is right. It is possible to get that engine in a convertible.

There's lots about the ignition system that is wrong.

Block stamp will tell a lot of the story.

Look for "double hump" heads, also. Stock LT-1 heads are a different from 'regular' heads and don't have any accessory bolt holes.

Beyond that, you'll need to pull a lifter, the oil pan, or the heads. 4-bolt main is imperative...forged rods imperative...forged TRW pistons imperative...solid lifters imperative.

A REALLY big one that tells you that you have an LT-1 CAR that might not have an LT-1 ENGINE is the car having 1 vs. 2 fuel lines to the fuel pump. This is a big one that "cloners" overlook...the LT-1 only has 1. The second line is the return line in the "regular" cars that the LT-1 does without.

And, of course, if you have all things that APPEAR LT-1 but you find the return line, 99.7% chance that it is a clone.

Never heard that one before. Is that a '71-72 thing? All my '70 LT-1 heads 3927186 and 3991492 have accessory holes...and guideplates, and screw-in studs, and big valves.

Apologies if I'm incorrect in that.

My engine builder was confused by the GM Service Replacement heads on my GM Service Replacement LT-1 engine until after we realized it was a Service Replacement.

He was very surprised that I had accessory bolt holes on the face of the heads. And it made a lot more sense to him after we found out the history of the engine.

I took it by extension that original LT-1 heads did not have accessory bolt holes. If I am in error, I apologize and stand corrected.
