ZL-1 #10 engine located
Rebuilt as a 454 and configured for racing, not run. Block was decked, con VIN stamp remains on the side of the block. Has original heads.
Owner would like to see it reunited with the chassis. I have heard for decades that it survives in unrestored condition. I am not a broker; convince me you own 124379N608969 and I will provide contact information.

No, crickets.
Interesting engine. It is the earliest known production ZL-1 block [053] casting. The block we acquired from Lamar Walden in the '80s via McLaren Racing was a Pilot casting. No casting date, sequence number or main cap stamping. Had not been run with a mechanical fuel pump. Later bare block castings had the same ID markings as production ZL-1 engines.

At this point, there is no longer any reason to believe either casting was early/late. Most seem to be 052s.

SO, this would assume there would have been two casting runs? What would the sense of changing a core box for a number in the middle of a casting run?

Yes, indications are there were two sets, ran both. Possibly the casting numbers were different simply for ID purposes.

Interesting info ! Also seems to be a difference in VIN stamp locations, fonts, etc. So number 10 and 34 blocks for sure had VIN by oil filter. I have a pic somewhere that I took of block from #17 ( if I recall correctly). It was individually stamped digits on the front deck. Was there any rhyme or reason or patterns on the VIN stamping?
