1970 LT1 Corvette Engine Lift Brackets

[David S.]

Hi All,

Looking for reference pictures of original engine lift brackets for a 1970 LT1. It is also my understanding that the front bracket should be painted silver while the rear bracket that mounts to the bell housing is orange. Is that correct?

I didn't see anything in the archives specifically for LT1 reference. Was the LT1 brackets LT1 specific or interchangeable with other years/ small blocks?

Thanks,
Dave

The brackets for LT-1 were painted as you described.

The same lift brackets were used for 1968-70 small blocks, LT-1 or otherwise.

Do you have the latest 70-72 Judging Guide if not you should. It has the photos and information you need plus so much more.

Thanks All.

Yes Paul, I do have the manual. Unfortunately I left it at the shop and was hoping to go shopping for a rear bracket before I have a chance to get back to the shop.

The new 1970-72 TIM&JG will tell you that the configuration of the front lift bracket was different for 1970 than for 1971 and newer. I believe we have photos illustrating the differences in the manual.
