Ah yes 70 ... seen your profile now ... here's my '72, albeit with a slightly smaller engine 
Correct - 70 has the double headlights, the 71/72 went single. Good to see there's some other Chevelles over on this side of the pond! I was wondering how many were over here...searching the forums a bit only seemed to pull up 5 or 10.Edited by RATATTAK on Wednesday 14th March 18:44
Nice ride - I like the blue with black stripes. What engine is in yours?

Yea mine's a 350Nice ride - I like the blue with black stripes. What engine is in yours?
My 1950 Chevy Styleline 2dr Sedan.
I got carried away when I took it off the road in 2014 to replace the suspension with air ride. I ended up doing a 3yr complete nut and bolt rebuild ! I'm sure most on here can relate.
Briefly, it now runs a fuel injected aluminium 5.7 Chevrolet V8 LS1 engine with a 4L60e transmission, LSD rear and air suspension.
Plus I have around £20k in paint and interior. So easy to get carried away once you start !
I'll most likely be putting it up for sale in May.

Nice.
LS5 or LS6?
It's not an original engine....I didn't have an extra $40-50k lying around for an original numbers matching LS5 or LS6 LS5 or LS6?
When I bought it, it had a 454 out of a truck, and after a few months, got on it one day and wiped out a cam lobe & lifter. Opened up the engine, found all sorts of other things wrong or about to be going wrong, including that the internals of the engine were a 427! (same block/bore as 454, but shorter stroke)
Fast forward and I got another 454 truck block and rebuilt everything, with all the go fast goodies and big open chambered heads, high compression ratio, high lift cam, etc
