I be leave this happened in 1969.From 1970 you can kinda see that GM wanted to get rid of these motors.

He is a tell tell for that one Reason.

1970 Monte Carlo The new 454 SS came out.They had they 2 versions of the SS options for that car the LS 5 witch was the SS then they had the LS 6 with dealer bolt on alum heads.

Now here is a funny one All SS Monte Carlos Had bucket seats and center console.

New i've come across 5 Monte Carlos with Big block motors in them.Me thinking I had the Hi per 454 I pulled it out checked the numbers

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOpe

it was a 402 truck motor on the block it will say M that means it was ment for truck or car

I saw a few 1971 camro's with 402 and impala with 402.never seen a chevelle or a nova with a 402 kinda strange

1971 Malibu 400 had a 402.
