I'm putting back together Mike's 70 LS6 today so I thought I would share some pictures. Everything has checked out perfect so far, machine shop did a great job getting the bores perfect, bearing clearances measure right in the middle of the specs. I am enjoying this build for sure, seems like a slice of history going back together. :yes:

You are going to offend the "numbers" crowd by using NON-ORIGINAL brass freeze plugs on a factory LS6. ;)

Kidding... looks great!

That was discussed but figured the paint would keep it a secret. Now that you have that information how much $ will it take to keep you quiet? :p
