Hi guys
Is this engine compartment original of a 1970 LS-5 454/390, seems to me the air intake and air injection reactor are missing :eek:
Other comments? :rolleyes:

To get an image, press the botton and then enter the URL (internet address of the image).

For example (I replaced the [] with {} so you can see the text).

You can't post from your home computer hard drive. Then have to be posted on the 'net somewhere. Sign up for the free CF homepages. That's what most of us use here.

Anyway does the engine room seem original :confused:
I see no conventional airintake or A:I:R

My $0.02 worth:

Looks close to original. The headers are not original. There was no air intake system. The dual snorkle air cleaner was not attached to anything. I do not believe that the '70 LS5 came equipped with A.I.R. I believe the first year that it came on the LS5 was '72 (mine is suppose to have it). I am pretty sure that it is missing the Chrome top shielding for the distributor. The brake booster cover shouldn't be chrome.

That is all I can tell from the pics. Here is a pic of my '72 LS5 that shows you the distributor shield (not exactly like '70, but close) and the exhaust manifold:


I hope this helps!

Thaks for the reply
I think the reason for the missing shieding on the distributer is due to the car was originally ordered without radio, since the also the wires are not metal covered but in plastic.

I would bet the red heater hoses are replacements...

Ecklers is selling replacement overflow tanks (at least for my version) to take care of yours with all the spill over stains.
