1972 LT1 engine pads

Re: 1972 LT1 engine pads

I've been collecting engine pad stampings for sometime in my research on '71 LS6 Corvettes. However seeing some examples of the small block stampings for the LT-1 engines is interesting. The first feature I noticed is the two different numeral zero's used in the engine assembly stampings. It also appears that the numeral 6 or 9 looks identical, as if it can be used interchangeably.

And contrary to popular belief (at least in some circles) the stamps can be installed either of two orientations, so the six and nine can be identical, as you have noted.

Hi Sal,

You actually commented on my CRT pad a few years ago but I didn't have any photos then. Thanks.
