What did it sell for?

[@jjefferyworboys8138]

Lovely old car, I too prefer the early chrome bumpers. One of the best I have seen.

Beautiful LT-1. What did it sell for?

Nice car!! Question:: we're 70 and 71 LT-1 pistons identical in every aspect or did 71's had the domed piston removed for a flat top forged pistons!!... anyone???

[@thud9797]

Don't know if the piston dome was totally removed but both the heads and pistons were different for 71 to get that compression drop from 11 down to 9 to 1. The camshaft was also slightly different and this combined for a 40 hp loss.

[@joevette6290]

@@thud9797 I thought that just replacing the 64cc heads to 76cc would drop the compression two points???? thanks bud!

[@colehara]

I believe the 71 LT-1 used TRW L-2417F forged flat top pistons with a single valve relief. I had to replace some pistons back in the day and got them at my local GM parts counter. When I looked inside the pistons they were marked "TRW". I believe TRW was bought by Speed Pro but I'm not certain of that.
