1970 LT1 Corvette Engine Pad Stamping

[David S.]

Hi Guys,


I am looking for reference pictures of a late (May, June, July) 1970 Corvette LT1 engine pads. The stamp pads must be the original stamp, I am not looking for re-stamp pictures. I will strictly use these pictures as reference/ comparison and will not distribute.


Any help is appreciated. Golferdas@gmail.com.


Kind Regards,


Dave

David, should you still be looking for stamp pad info, currently have a 1970 LT-1 engine on bench. Let me know what part # you require to get the production window you need. Bill

Why restrict yourself to LT1? All SBCs came down the same assembly lines.

Looking for CTK stamps in particular and want to focus on LT1's in general for right now. I understand the gang stamps were setup by suffix code and I am trying to get reference pictures to compare to my car.

Why not post yours and let us shoot at it?

Hi Terry,

The pad was confirmed original by one of your colleagues in the NCRS/ Bloomington (a master level judge). Since that confirmation I have no doubt about its originality. I'm simply trying to learn as much as possible at this point since I know a lot more about the midyear cars than these sharks. I will send your an email or pm with the photos for your review.

Kind regards,
Dave

what are you trying to learn that a picture of pad will tell??? why not just ask for info you are seeking and specific goal info given will tell you.

Re: 1970 LT1 Corvette Engine Pad Stamping

Michael, education through information sharing should never be limited to one specific goal. Dave and I bought a certified original motor, trans, no-hit body 1970 LT1 convertible. We are starting the process of familiarizing ourselves with the car and its intricacies (example, pad stamping).

Thanks for your concern.

Dave, Dan, I have some photos of a known late factory grind out/ restamp that someone sent me when I was looking at LT-1s. I will try to find the original email and forward it; all I have now is the paper photos.
