Engine code references

I'm proposing that all engine code references in this article (and the Small Block article) have the hyphen removed. For example, "LS-5" would become "LS5".

My reasons are: (1) none of the books or articles I have read on Corvettes ever use the hyphen, and (2) Googlers don't either and this otherwise excellent article is therefore not found. Gtc131 03:50, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks better.... thanks! —Mrand ^T-C 16:53, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm... the LT-1 and the LT 1 are two very different engines ::: —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.234.237.138 (talk) 20:01, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Undid of removal of section regarding Dick Slosar

No attempt needs to be made to list every emplyee; this man hand fabricated these extremely rare parts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Toneron2 (talk • contribs) 04:10, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't really clear. The problem is that one person doing some hand fabrication for one car is not really notable (see WP:NOTE) for an encyclopedia. Nor does his employment record further the understanding of big-block engines. For good or bad, this type of thing is something countless others have done on numerous other cars - it's something that is done all the time in a manufacturing environment. However, if you can find a VALID source for this claim, then obviously it is notable and we can keep it. Otherwise I'm afraid it needs to go.—Mrand ^T-C 20:39, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction is embarrassingly POV

== The L72 427 was available in the 1969 Camaro from the factory, and in fact are much more common than ZL1s. They were called COPO 9651

The Introduction is embarrassingly POV and provides an unnecessary commentary on how Chevrolet obtains the horsepower rating. --KJRehberg (talk) 23:47, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
