    Default Here's a piston with some compression.

    Taken from the mye28 link to a corvette auction.





    Ok, it has become obvious, I'm turning into a middle-aged white guy, checking out big block vettes.

    Dont be silly. No LS6 motor belongs anywhere near a bavarian chassis. Yes, i've seen the E30/36 LS6 swap... no win in my book.

    That looks like a 67 L-88 427. They made like 20 of them that year. Very rare and very expensive. 13:1 compression, solid lifter cam, no radio, no heater, no fan shroud and it foulded the plugs if you let it idle to long.
