Default C5 Guy Has Question about 71 454

My best buddy called me today and claims he is picking up a 71 454 for a (Are you ready for this?) $2K! The story is, his friend's wife is selling it to bail him friend out of jail. Anyway... Does anyone know what the claimed ET on this car was? He isn't sure if it is a 4 spd or a auto yet and he is assuming it is not the LS6. I would appreciate any info someone might have.

Standard LS5 was 365 HP gross. I'd guess mid to high 14's. A 3.08 rear was standard with either a TH400 or a M20(2.52 Low) Muncie. More gear would help the times
