I was supposed to get a 69 ZL-1 motor last weekend, but shipment got delayed for 2-3 weeks. Any opinions welcome if something looks odd on the block surfaces as I bought this without personally inspecting it.
I get the long block, less blower intake. I get a ZL-1 intake that has been with the motor. I am sitting here biting my nails.... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Looks like a later cast block with the press in freeze plugs. Also looks stroked to at least 454 with the extra balancing weight added to the crank flange.

Jason</div></div> It has a 'hank the crank' in it if that means anything on the external weights, I thought it was a 427 stroke crank, either way its ok, I get the paperwork on the rebuild when it gets here. It also has some type of head bolt that goes deeper into the block. A lot of money was spent on the heads too. It was never fired. 11:1. |

I hope it makes it to you as described. 11:1 seems pretty intense to have a blower manifold mounted on it. How did you find the engine?

Jason</div></div> The guy I bought it from was just thinking about the blower but stopped going forward with the idea. I stumbled upon it by accident. |

Might be O.k. on alcohol..... not O.k. on gas.

It now makes sense he stopped building it, as he told me he feared detroying this expensive motor under continuous constant load (i.e. boat, but in a car, its a burst load). Never talked alchol or gas though.
Its been sitting this way rebuilt since 89, and he got it way before then out of a 69 camaro drag car north of denver. Looks like its an over the counter block. |
