Re: the GM/NHRA specs for the 71 corvette 454
Yes it is to bad that not all the proposed engine options for the '70 Corvette did not materialize. I think the 1970 model certainly got shorted on the big block options, an LT2, LJ1, LS7 would have made quite the ordering process much more fun.
Tom,
It is interesting that the same RPO option designation was used for two engines of diverse differences. Different pistons, different carbs, different coils, different distributors, different heads, different flywheel, different clutch, different waterpump, different exhaust manifolds, different air cleaner assemblies (for the most part), different oil pan and so on.
