Yeah, I was hooked from the day in 1970 when my brother took my mom to the grocery store in his '65 4 spd, tri-power GTO. I was 6 years old in the back seat but still remember my mom saying "Gary, slow down!!!". He just looked at her, laughed, shoved it into 3rd gear and slammed the throttle again. Probably the last time she got in that car.

I can’t stopping watching this...my dad owned an LS6 from new, to 1975 (typical story, he sold it after the 73 gas crunch, and after starting to raise a family). He supposedly shed a tear watching it get driven away....for $1800 in 1975. I can scan pics of that day if anyone is interested. But this video boxes with what my mother also told me......she was TERRIFIED to ride in that car when my pops went up against other cars on the street on the way home from bars or dinners in downtown Detroit when they went out on dates. A very nasty car for its period. My own mother (a tiny 5ft girl) told me, after shutting down a hemi GTX two times in a row.....she wanted it to end.....so she leaned out the window on run 3, and said “do you really want this again you SOMAFABITCH?”

That sound man and ride brings back lots of memories. If only I had kept one of my cars from back in the day. I had so many muscle cars . In my day however they were daily drivers to work, school , etc and then your weekend warriors too. I had a 71 SS and a 72 SS 396 with the 402. My favorite car I had the most fun in was a 65 Oldsmobile Cutlass with a built 396 under the hood. Muncie 4 Speed, 4.11 posi. I ran the living crap out of that car, floated the valves I don't know how many times but she never came apart and I was hard on it! Put 3 gallons of cam2 in it then topped it off with high test so it wouldn't ping. Nobody would race me everyone was intimidated by the sound and look of the rat. Found a few LS6 cars in a shed, barn back then but NFS. All cars long gone now. Watching your video made me think of good times I had as a young man. If only I had one now to tinker with. I was a mechanic as my trade and hurt my back pulling motors, rears, etc . Three back surgeries later and no cars. I really miss that sound, look and thrill of going through the gears full throttle it's a rush. Anyway thanks for the video man. Sounds great.

When I was growing up in the early 1980's, these cars could be had for $1000-1500 bucks. Somewhere in that ballpark figure. The Big block mopars slightly cheaper. After the 1973 and 1980 gas crunches, the market really fell out for these cars. That and most people were into toyota and nissan really big at that particular time. It was great to be in high school then and get a drivers license and do what me and a lot of my friends did at that time, buy these cars that were just about on every street corner or farm and have fun with them. Most of us only wish we'd kept what we had from that unique time in America.

The sound of the engine is like its voice, and they sound like they're begging you to stand on it. They remind me of a dog in a ready position, waiting for you to unhook his leash so he can run. I love the sound of them so much that I am now the proud owner of a 1970 Oldsmobile 442. With the enormous camshaft that I put in it, that car sounds like it's possessed by the devil himself. It's a terrifying car whilst sitting at idle, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

He wanted an LS6, but there was none to be found in June of 1970. His cranberry red with black interior Chevelle was a beautiful car. Not all that quick for a big block 454. His plans were to replace the LS5 with a LS6 from Chevrolet Performance. Where he bought his Chevelle in Pontiac MI, in the parts department of the dealership they had a small sign that had the price of an LS6 454 crate engine. It was 1100 dollars. Well, those plans were done away with when his LS5 was stollen. He was devastated when the Detroit Police found the car with no front clip, no engine or transmission, and no wheels laying in an empty lot. The insurance company wanted to do a payoff instead of replacing the vehicle with another SS Chevelle. My brother refused to take a payoff and held out for a replacement Chevelle. Luck would have it, that my brother found out about a guy who going through a divorce and needed to sell his 70 SS Chevelle. The insurance company agreed on the sale and that is how my brother ended up with a Black with white strips, cloth interior with bench seat collum shifter 400 automatic transmission Chevelle. Well, this is where the story gets interesting. The SS engine badge on front finder was 396. Laying nicely in the engine bay was a 472 big block, 13:1 compression, open chambered heads, roller camshaft, long tube racing headers, dual point distributer, single 950 Holley carburetor, electric fuel pump, with a 4:88 rear end. The guy who sold the car to my brother raced it at Lapeer Dragway. With slicks it ran with the single carburetor low 11:40's and with the staggered dual quad setup 10:80's. Man, did we have fun on warm summer nights cruising Woodward Ave. It was hard to get traction with street tires from a standstill, but if my brother raced from a roll, it was over quickly for most cars who decided to race. The torque of that 472 big block was incredible. I forgot to mention that the engine was balanced, and blue printed as well. It was amazing how well it idled, and it would rev to 7200 RPM without breaking a sweat. It was best to just leave the car in drive while racing from a standstill. If from a roll you could hold it in second gear and hang on for dear life. You could never mat the accelerator, you had to manage the amount of throttle to keep traction, even at higher speeds. Like most during that time period, the increase in fuel costs and the lack of high-performance cars cruising the roads pretty much made most lose interest in their hot rods. My brother ended up selling the Chevelle back to the guy he bought it from. He said he was going to restore it and race it again. During the time my brother had the car, it broke two flex plates and had the 400-transmission rebuilt once. My brother come to understand the high RPM shifts were too much for the stock 400 flex plates. I sure have fond memories of those warm summer nights while cursing Woodward Ave. The sound of two powerful V8's going through the gears next to one another on a warm summer night with the windows down is something you have to experience to understand how incredible it sounds. The best race on Woodward Ave my brother had with his Chevelle, was a 1970 Baldwin Motion 454 Camaro. It was close, but the Chevelle would slowly pull away in second gear. Thanks for sharing the awesome sound of your 70 LS6 Chevelle. Brought back some amazing memories.

What transmission are you running with. Thinking of an ls2 or the right lq. I have a 66 gto with 400 from a 67. Will the 4 speed Muncie work with an ls? Car sounds great. Just about any of us can hear something wrong with our cars.

Whats your cam profile, doesnt seem like a stock 520 lift cam. Also is the rear axle 4:10? Car is healthy as a mofro.

@@user-cn4tc5tq2s I'm hoping to hear that sound real soon. I have a straight axle 55 Chevy Nomad Gasser that was built in the late 60s. It has a 1970 454 Ls6 Engine fully balanced with the new comp cams ZL1 Plus Solid lifter Cam. Also bigger valves 2.25 intake 1.88 exhaust huge old school cyclone headers and a vintage Holley 3916 950 cfm Holley 3 barrel carb. Plus muncie m21 4 speed with 5:38 gears out back! Ladder bars with the classic Cragar S/S wheels. Should be running for the engine break in next few weeks.

Cowl Induction hoods are cool when they work. I believe they are operated by a vacuum actuator. Vacuum was totally unreliable back then, always replacing solenoids and hoses.

Oh yeah I know. We restored quite a few wirh cowl induction. They have switch down by the pedal like a kick down switch and also that vacuum canister that mounts on the bottom side of the hood. It's been 15 yrs sinxe we restored any tho. Wasn't no aftermarket parts to be found we got all our genuine GM stuff from car buddies. Chasin leads down all over the country and gettin lucky in junkyards. Like we got tons of 12 bolts and the rear sway bars from a few yards off totalled chevelles or maybe a buick even some monte Carlo 70- 72 parts are same. Trunk lids;, seats console.( not pattern on seats but same seats underneath) also monte dashes are same as oG 70 - 72 SS dashes but some have holes in them when u pop off the wood grain. Not all but some which is almost impossible to fix and look rite. Lotta the glass is same Same wirh some skylarks . Lots of interchangeable parts. We found an 70 monte ss 454 and used the motor buckets and console even the dash didn't have the holes behind the wood grain luckily and it also had an optional rear window defogger we used on our car... we used to have about 5 OG cowl induction hoods. They're was 2 kinds. With different style insulation holes underneath. If u saw em side by side u can tell but if u didn't know it u would probably never catch it. Then of course the base SS domed hood without cowl induction. But hell u can buy consoles seats even hoods dashes wiring harnesses all body panels all that.new aftermarket now but u couldn't back when we did it all we had was ausleys and hinshaws chevelle parts and hell they bought alot of consoles and ss gauge clusters we had with all the different redlines for whatever motor. My dad had 4 2 bay garages filled with 64-7 and 70- 72 parts. SS or plain malibu. He got cancer and sold almost everything to some dude in Canada that came down every year to buy parts. Now we only have 2 and a few 12 bolts sway bars and Muncie m21s and 22s left . One 70 LS6 we never finished. It's my goal is to finish it for him. We got all the parts. Car was media blasted and painted on rotisserie. Yeeeeears ago. Now it's js sittin on the frame with the motor completely done and cowl breather on it sittin like he left it. Covered up in the garage. I'll get around to finishing it one day.
