Re: Z 16 Chevelle...How many exsist today?
Don't forget that the '65 L-78 (396-425hp) was also installed in full size Chevrolets in '65. I recall seeing a production total once that was around (I believe) 2500.
My best friend in high school had one. Verne.

Re: Z 16 Chevelle...How many exsist today?

What was GM thinking?? [/ QUOTE ] They weren't,but Vince Piggins was,as well as "Bunkie" Knudsen. Two were built at Baltimore,while the others were built at KC Leeds Plant I believe. Dennis Hyrdauic lifter engine was 375HP,and more socially acceptable for the New Chevelle.The solid was 425HP,& the Corvette always got the highest HP first....But not in 1970 Baby! Dennis on I-55...[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ [/img]
