Very Special LS6?

Re: Very Special LS6?

Thanks to all. I have now learned some things I did not know. The engine pad though is something I have never seen before with those machine marks. The zone I believe is 00 not 0.

Those are not factory machining marks. At some point, the block in this engine apparently had a "very light cut" taken with a rotary broach. It was apparently light enough that the stampings were preserved (as the stampings do appear shallower than I would expect). Of course, there are other possibilities, too.

What's the big deal about a LS6? I have one in my '01 Z06

I thought it was always a little cheesy of Chevy to reuse engine option codes. Starting with the LT-1. Now there are 3 generations of LT-1. It has become simply marketing hype.

Was there ever any logic to engine options codes?

They have to re-use them. There are only so many 3 character alpha-numeric codes and since, in the GM system, all engine option codes have a first character of "L", that means there are really only 2 character code combinations.

Re: Very Special LS6?

In the photo with the hood open there is no alarm switch or even an indication there ever was in its usual location for a UA-6 alarm. In other photos that are not very clear or sharp many items/parts are not consistent with known originals but then same items/parts are. Plus a very sloppy restoration of the chassis in my opinion. Am I being to harsh and in need of sensitivity training again.
I would be very very skeptical about this car as being authentic from what is shown.

...the "certified" part of it consists of the Shipping Data Report, the only NCRS document they have...

At the least, they can "certify" the car was shipped.

That is a car I have thought about buying several times over the last few months, I think for the price it is great.
