I'm looking at purchasing a 70 Z-28 that is advertised as a "numbers matching" car. I do not know what the numbers on the engine pad should be. I've read that the numbers should be 1 string with the six digit VIN in a smaller font, followed by the engine code in a slightly larger font. Does anyone have any information or guidance to a site that might clarify this? Appreciate the help....

 

well it won't be a numbers matching if it is a lt based 5.7 like the title. they didn't put the lt's into the camaro until 93.

 

I appreciate your thoughts, but you need to check your facts , the LT-1 engine came out in the 1968 Corvette, it was put in the Camaro starting in 1970 !

 

I guess not everybody knows there is "another" 350 LT-1. Actually, the 1992 and up 2nd gen LT1 is the "other" one.

Thanks for the link Camaro 69...They have one photo of the engine ID pad on their site. If any of the other Forum Members have any other information, I would appreciate their sharing it...

hhmm cool. I guess I have lt engines in both my camaros haha.

 

Probably not, you would know it if you did. The LT-1 was an optional 350 engine for the Corvette and Camaro, available from 1970-72. It had solid lifters, 11:1 c.r., and was rated at 360 h.p.
Slight correction to 70Z28LT1's statement, the LT-1 wasn't used in the Vette until 1970 either.
The "LT1" (no dash) came back as a totally different engine in 1992 and was the only V-8 put in the Vette and Camaro during the LT years, other than "special" production engines like the ZR1.

 

Also had a 4 bolt main steel crank and the big valve 2.02 heads if memory serves.
