I have a 1974 c3 . The VIN number shows I have the T 250 horse power engine. A previous owner put LT1 emblems and stickers on the car. The LT1 was not offered in 1974. My car came with original paperwork and I found where the engine was replaced with an LT 1 engine and other upgrades in May of 1976. How can I identify the engine as a LT1? What’s numbers should I be looking for on the engine and what do they mean? One last question, where are all the serial numbers located.? Thank you Brian

"This website is a passion of mine, just as much as being a Corvette owner," says Chris. He was frustrated trying to find information on the internet about Corvettes which was was not biased or influenced somehow.
He has owned three Corvettes over the last twenty years and does not plan to stop owning one anytime soon.
