Our close friend bought his dream car, a gorgeous matching-numbers Laguna Grey 1970 Corvette with the 11:1 compression 370 HP LT-1, 4 speed M21 Muncie, 3.70:1 final drive. Idles beautifully around 800 RPM, runs nice & cool, pulls strong. The idle of that LT-1 is a symphony for anyone who knows their 18436572 from a hole in the ground.

Have to love the sound of a LT-1. I am now the owner of my fathers original owner 1970 LT-1 that has never been apart. Has received the NCRS 5 star Bow-Tie award, Bloomington Survivor and such. Will have it flight judged once we find the original keys. I have the protect-o-plate, original window sicker (never been on the car) and such.

Of all Corvettes, the 1970 LT-1 is the one I want.

M22 with 4.10 gears, sweet package.

M21 and gears were 3.70, 3.55 or 4.11.

Absolutely gorgeous 🇺🇸👍, read what Corvette forum voted as the best looking Corvette ever out of the top ten, I think it would put a smile on your face. They've been in business everything Corvette for 20 plus years.

No A/C bummer, I'm sure you know how hot it gets in there...I had a 71 LT-1 it was an oven ....

@sidefx996 Жыл бұрын

Was only available on an LT-1 in '72, and they didn't make many (only 240). Oven is about right haha. My '72 is about unbearable in the summer.

@letsride2057 Жыл бұрын

Wonder why they, transport people, don't put stop blocks on the lift... Sh it happens. why take a chance.

And revving it up like that in reverse too, man one slip of the clutch and it's totalled. Ramp was tilting down, looks like could have just rolled back with engine off.

Why video the instrument cluster ??

@stingraykenx Жыл бұрын

To show the 6500 RPM redline tach! Lesser 350s over the years are 5600 or 5300 or 5000 RPM. This was the last real monster small block!

And the oil pressure gauge should read higher than the base engine so it's cool.

Keep lugging that LT-1 engine by shifting at 2500rpm instead of 3500 and blow the main bearings !!!

@thud9797 4 ай бұрын

I think it will be alright Joe, the automatic LT-1 in the Z/28 short shifts like that too.

@gordocarbo 4 ай бұрын

I saw him shift at 1500 and 2k. Not good for solid lift cams. Why do so many vette guys insist on lugging them? Aint saving nothing just brings the thrust bearing to an early grave
