Just an RPO code,like WS6 and WU8, and Z51, and 1LE, etc. LS been used for a while. I believe 1970 chevelles had an LS-6 as an option.

Yep RPO code, standard engine in the 454 SS Chevelle was the LS-5 and the optional was the LS-6, worth lots of $$$ today.

It used to stand for "luxury sport" on car models. I'm not sure if that's what it stands for with the engine.

Edit: BTW, LT used to stand for 'luxury touring'
