So I'll try again.
Looking for info on 1971 coupe VIN: 194371S107270. I googled the vin & checked the C3 registry without success. No pics yet of the tach or console plate and have no idea of birdcage, mounts & frame condition. It's a lady looking for info on her recently deceased husbands car.
Any help in decoding what this was / is gratefully received.

you need to provide the engine code, letters, found on the pad in front of the passenger side cylinder head. You can compare the last 6 digits of the VIN to what you find on that same pad to see if they match.

Engine is dressed like an LT-1, but all of those were four speeds.

Safety Car
The car is a ZQ3 base engine (350ci - 270hp) coupe with an automatic. The tach will have a 5300 rpm redline.
The car has been dressed up to look like an LT-1 with hood, valve covers, air cleaner sticker and I'll assume console plaque.

Thanks. I'm digging and being told that the pics may be up to 2 years old and it's sat outside and much worse condition now. Shame but for her, I'll go and see it anyway.

A pic of the trim tag inside the drivers side door frame will be a big help in noting if the car has had a color change.

I REALLY like this car, but I may be biased. Ours is also a base 270 horse, automatic, non AC.... and I changed the reverse lights out to have 4 stop / tail / turn signals. Ours is Steel Cities Gray (original color), but we would paint it yellow if we ever decided to change it! Good luck with your research. I LOVE those wheels & sidepipes too, by the way!

Check the tach as mentioned... also any 70-71 LT1 cars should have the inner fender holes for the TI box even if the system is missing.
probably a 270 HP 350. ONE thing to note, the push in oil cap, though the cap is later, if the valve cover is a real 71-72 cover with the smooth round opening for the push in oil cap, they are rare and have not been available for years... Perhaps the car was done with a donor car. I see what appears to be a plug for a smog hole in the manifold, only 71 SB with smog was the LT1.as well.

CE indicates an engine replaced under warranty. TXB is the ID code for a 75-77 truck block. The 70 appears to be hand stamped.

A replacement engine? Looks like a '75 Camaro or something, changed under warranty...?
Ooops! Mike beat me to it!
