1970 Corvette was avilable with 454, aluminum heads, single 850 holley on aluminum hi-rise, solid lifter cam, rated at 465 stump pulling hp. Think it was called an LS6? Big bucks (for the time) and very limited production. Think I heard that 13 were produced. I know the engine was avilable. Perhaps it was a Motion Performance car, but I thought it was factory. Anybody?
You are almost right. And I quote from page 62 of the 1953-2006 Corvette Black Book: "The 454ci LS6 engine with 425hp was a detuned version of 1970's planned, but cancelled 460hp LS7. LS6 was designed to operate on low-lead fuel, but since a comparable engine was not available in 1970, it won the horsepower race for the two years despite its lower octane appetite. It featured aluminum heads and could be ordered with an automatic transmission, although not when combined with the ZR2 package."
Ok, you caught me sleeping, let me rephrase..."White C6 ZO6's"!
Boy, a fellow has to be on top of his game here! I will correct the orginal post.
Thank's guys.

These guys can be brutal.... But that can be a good thing... Bad info doesn't get too far. No flame intended. Please do not take it personally. I have put my foot in my mouth quite a few time since the forum started. It had NO ads at all. I remember the first ad. I can't remember my name but that's another story
