70 LT1 engine compartment picture
Has anybody got a good digital picture of a factory correct 70 LT1 engine compartment (no air conditioning)? I'd like to see what new looked like to make comparisons to a car I'm going to see.
Thanks and Merry Christmas,
Rick

Hi Rick!
I've got some pics of a CTD block (300 horse) in an engine compartment. Also have some body & interior shots of the same 4 speed Vert car (no A/C). Let me know if these might help & I can email them to you
I do have a couple pics of a 1971 LT1 also

That '70 has a beautiful engine compartment! However, one thing stands out in my eye (from a NCRS standpoint) - the plastic fan shroud. I don't think they put those on until 73 -74 time period...

It looked like they had done a complete body off restoration and they posted a ton of pictures of the underside and engine compartment. I saved them all for future reference.

My 70 LT-1 has the plastic fan shroud. I do believe it to be original. However, I was trying to take a close look at the water pump. I believe the 70 LT-1 had the heavy duty water pump that had a plugged bypass port on the center top of the pump. Am I wrong?

All 70's with a big block radiator came with the plastic shroud. The LT-1 had a big block radiator, and all small blocks with a auto tranny. Small blocks that were stick had a metal fan shroud. My 70 300 horse auto has a plastic one.
