Stock 1971 Engine Pay Pics
Anybody have pictures of an L-48, 270hp, 1971 restored or stock survivor engine in their car that they would be willing to share those pictures? I want to go as stock as possible with my 71 project and would like to see how far off I am starting.
Thank you for your consideration.

Engine Pay, er, I meant Engine Bay
Sorry about that. I was so excited about writing this post that I said Pay versus Bay. That could be an expensive mistake in some circles. 
I'll try harder to type correctly and slow down in the future.

Hi David,
If you're serious about 'stock' you should consider buying the NCRS 70-72 CORVETTE TECHNICAL INFORMATION MANUAL & JUDGING GUIDE, and the 68-72 VET VUES FACT BOOK by M.F. Dobbins. Buy the NCRS book for the information and the Dobbins book for the pictures.
My 71 compartment is very stock while the engine is mostly stock. It has a Holley DP and 70 ignition shielding on it in some of the pictures.
Here's a couple that have been posted often. If your interested I'll send you some more.... but buy the books, they help you.
Regards,
Alan
PS: Thanks Ray, I ALWAYS enjoy seeing your photos too.

I always examine those pictures. I don't think I have ever seen the whole finished car.

Mr. Alan and Mr Carl,
I noticed a cover (boot) in the pictures you posted in this thread that I do not see on my 69. What do you call this cover and was it also on 69 vettes. I apologize to the original poster and do not mean to hijack this thread.
Thanks,
andy

Alan / GD 70, both beautiful cars! 
Alan I think I've saved all the pics you've posted of that terrific restoration. Someday I'll take the plunge and do my '71.
Funny how things change even in the same year. My '71 has AC and with that the rad is different, has no expansion tank and a plastic shroud! I'll see if I can round up a pic.
Kind of like this. ( not my car but one that I took at the last NCRS regional )

The pics I posted were from a local cruise, not my vette, but a beautiful vert.

Thanks to you all. This is where I will be starting from on the 71 project car.
I'll be comparing notes and awaiting my NCRS books now.
Thanks to you all.
