1971 CORVETTE 454/425

[MICHAEL #48358]

I HAVE A 1971 CORVETTE, IT'S MOTOR WAS CHANGED, IT IS A 454. HOW CAN YOU TELL WHAT THE ORIGINAL MOTOR WAS. THE AUTO STICK SHIFT CONSOLE READS 454/425HP, BUT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN CHANGED. IS IT POSSIBLE TO TELL FROM THE VIN#, OR IS THERE SOMEWHERE ON THE FRAME OR BODY THAT THIS COULD BE FOUND. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

Pleas turn off your CAPS. What is the redline on the tach? Also inside the engine compartment on the firewall behind the brake booster/master cylinder should be a white sticker with information on setting the timing and idle should tell what engine it is. That should get you started find the redline on the tachometer and the sticker and report back on them. Thanks
