h19-70 is stamped on the deck Part #3963512

im pretty sure its the head/block combo that make this 454 unique to a 1970 chevelle LS6?

head part number ends in 291. the head and valves seem to be bigger than any other 454 ive seen.

any help is appreciated

whats stamped on the right front deck pad of the block?

if nothing is there, then you have a 454 crate motor... H-19-70 is August 19, 1970, too late for 1970 LS6-450hp installed production

how about a still in the crate 1970'ish LS7 454 they were rated at 600+ hp and 13.5 : 1 compressio.I've been told they were a factory race engine option yes/no. a buddy of mine has 1 in a 71' El Camino detuned to 9:1 and still makes 465hp to the rear wheels, he also has another sitting in the original crate that's why I ask.

Crate motor OK but original motor that was in car brings value up a lot!

Andy, I picked up a 70 LS6 454 longblock #s matching engine in october for 1800 in Amarillo. It needed rebuilt and got it and is now in my 71 chevelle. Ive had multiple people offer me 4-6k for the engine so they can throw it in their 70 chevelles.
