1967 Big Block ID Help?

[dillon1414]

For the 1967 Corvettes, what are the tell tale signs that the car was originally a big block without paper work, owner history or the original engine?

I know this has probably been asked many, many times before but I can't find the thread. Can someone answer the question or please post a link to the thread?

Thanks

There's a long list of "clues", all of which can be faked; some of the primary clues are:

Must be a St. Louis body
Driver's side hood support
Expansion tank bracket rivet holes filled with bond
7/8" front sway bar (15/16" with F41)
9/16" Rear sway bar (straight, not offset)
Bolted caps for diff yoke U-joints and big-block diff code
6000 redline (L-36/68) or 6500 (L-71)
80 psi oil pressure gauge if L-71
Transistor ignition if L-71
RH firewall clip for battery cable
Correct bend/location for main fuel line to pump hose
