William 'Jake' Sheehy was a great source of info clarifying this picture. Famed head porter in Detroit, CJ Batten, stamped this in the rear of the head - WJS, (Mr. Sheehy's initials) HC - (high compression) and 117.0 - 117 ccs , reference to what the heads are blueprinted to.

AWESOME! I actually have a 71 roadster that was ordered with a LS5 4 speed and received a LS7 GM crate transplant and was auto crossed and drag raced most of its early existence. I bought it from the third owner in 98 with 48000 miles and nothing had been changed since the mid seventies. It's been apart for many years and seeing yours is lighting a fire under my posterior! Good luck with your sell!

Are you in Ontario (613) or Quebec? I am in Newfoundland, Canada and will deliver the car to any buyer in Ontario or Quebec for minimal cost.

New price! New price!
i will bring this car to gm carlisle in june for only gas money - that's peanuts. New price, new pics!! This is chevy history folks.new price now $33,000. A daytona yellow 1970 corvette convertible with mostly original paint, 33,000 miles, black auxiliary hardtop, tank sticker (ls5 454, m21). Nice original black interior.
The special thing about my car is that after the original owner ordered it he replaced the original ls5 with a new fully balanced and blueprinted ls7 454 built by diamond engineering in detroit and bill king racing engines (they did a lot of super stock racer development work for the oem manufacturers, tooled up the cross-ram for the hemi race engines etc., as well as the all-aluminum big-blocks in the can-am mcclaren chapparal cars - diamond had the contract, bill king built the engines for mcclaren) the car has every l88 and ls7 factory road racing piece imaginable - full set j56 l88 brakes, 074 aluminum heads, l88-zl1 intake, l88 service carburetor, harrison l88 aluminum radiator and matching rad support, gm off-road racing oil cooler, ok kustom header sidepipes and headers (with gm part numbers), over the counter m22 rock crusher, dual disc l88 clutch, original gm l88 hood with air cleaner. He wanted an ls7 corvette and when the option was cancelled he built his own. This car has been looked over and signatured by gib hufstaeder and much of the 1970 corvette engineering group, including gib hufstaeder and tom langdon who gave me a copy of the original cancellation document for the ls7 option...$33,000.
