Default 427 1969 Suffix LO?
Hello

I found an short block #512 casting block with the suffix LO. When I check in the lists it should be a 1969 corvette 427 430 hp...Hi Perf.

Can it be an L88?

BUT, when I look above the oilfilter it only has one 1/2 threas output ....and then it is a 2 bolt main? 4 bolt should have two 1/2 holes?

Thanks

The Corvette Black Book lists LO as the suffix code for the L88.

Are you sure the code is not LQ?

What's the VIN derivitive?

I don't know much about these. Are you sure it is not an LQ? I have seen some LQ blocks that had light stamps and it looked like LO.

HI

As mentioned already, it is out of the question that there was a L88 with 2 bolt mains only.
