Very early '71 production LT-1's

[dlrshort]

Never heard that myself, so I too will be interested in feedback.

Well, my car isn't terribly early, #3081, but my block was cast 7/25/70 and assembled on 8/25/70, and when my engine was torn down for the first time at 94,00 miles, it had the 9:1 flatops in it.
