69 Vette Power Plant So I am buying a 69 Vette.
I am seeing on the net its powered by an LT1??? Is that correct? The owner says it has an HW motor??? I can't find anything online about that.
Anyway, I wasn't sure where to post this, any insight is appreciated.

don't want to burst your bubble, but it won't compare at all to a '70 LS6 if that is the engine you are referring to. The 1970 LS6 had 450hp..rated conservatively.

Yup in the caddy.
I didn't think it would come close to the current LS6, but he said it was a buitl motor, i figured he would know if its making more or less than 400/400.
Thanks for the insight guys!

Hmmm the LT-1 didn't come out till 1970, I wonder what was in it before. It was probably still a 350, but it kind of makes you curious. Here is some more info: http://www.vettefinders.com/index.cf...101Story/ID/18 . A stock LT-1 was rated at 370hp.

Exactly, and in 68 it was a 327 short block. So what mystery short block 350 was in this animal?
