Funny how the first pick is listed as a 1965 265. Maybe the author needs to get someone to proof read the copy.

Lot of misinfo though and not entirely accurate. First off the 1st engine is from 1955 not 65, the 62-63 FI engine is very different from the 64-65 FI engine. The 71 LS6 didn't have aluminum heads. Etc

188 of the 1971 454 Corvettes were equipped with the aluminum head LS6 motor, according to multiple sites online (including this forum) http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/...u-inch-engine/
