Would like some opinions on the '71 454. I'm currently looking at two; given they were slightly down in horsepower and torque from '70 - is a '71 454 still a good daily driver road car with impressive torque, or should I focus on the '70 454 before emissions took effect?
Can't go wrong with either year you should buy the best one for the money all things being equal
Haven't driven my 71 in quite some time. Took it out, washed, clayed and waxed. Painted over 5 years ago and looks pretty damn good. Always fun taking the 71 out for a run!
I have a question for 72 owners. It's well chronicled the emissions impact on horsepower and torque versus the 70 mainly and 71 slightly......regardless, can you give me a sense of 72 LS5 performance as a big block - fun to drive, seat of pants torque and HP you'd expect from a BB?

You'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between the two of course assuming they are equally equipped and stock configurations...
