Backyard find - what is it? pics
Exploring the back yard we found this poking out of the ground. I'm trying to get to the block pad to grab some numbers. What do you think it is?

No Idea
someone else just said it's a smogger so it's probably worthless.
I can't drag it out so I'm going to have to take it apart to get it up the hill. I'll look up the head #'s when I do that..

Looks like this casting which is one of the most produced Gen 1 motors in history. The 4" bore block that came with 2 bolt or 4 bolt mains produced in 1969 through 1979. I would leave it where it's at. Seems to be the only thing holding that tree up.

I dont think An lS1 would look like that in 30+ years
hopefully someone sees what I did there..
Cool Find thought! Just digging in the back yard? Burying something / someone?
