Re: 67 Z28 project
Is the AL X-motor a 302?
What did the AL blocks in the Grand Sports look like?

Re: 67 Z28 project
Aluminum parts were acquired by someone in about 72. Maybe they fell off a truck ? I was told Jack Podell also had a set of aluminum heads like these that he used to have for sale. They also had the bolt holes but were from the 60's. Mark..Would you now hook me up with a early crossram and early crossram cowl plenum ? It is starting to sound like my old 67 RS Z with the Xram.

Re: 67 Z28 project
Damn Charley!!!!
I can find stuff, but YOU... You can really find things I havent seen before!!!! Would LUV a nice detailed write up of that motor!!! No 0-code for that block. Is it dated???? Any similarities to the 0-code Can-Am blocks, etc that were prototyped??? That's a first for me on a SBC Intake with this coding!

Re: 67 Z28 project
No dates on the block, just the 366298 #. The block was virtually a raw casting with only pan rails machined. Apparently when a block is machined they start by doing the pan rails and reference everything else from there. The block has traveled all over the country having stuff done to it. It is a very rare Dude.

Re: 67 Z28 project
Anything similar to the ZL1???
I recall the Delta Bolts on the main caps on mine when I had it. Any external blockside stampings that distinguish this relative to any GM aluminum motor you been exposed to???

Re: 67 Z28 project
It looks like a GM bowtie block and has a bowtie but they use a small diameter truck type oil filter. This is cast for a full size one.

Re: 67 Z28 project
Seeing as it's original block is long gone,I would opt the experimental SB alloy & use that cowl plenum AC.That would be killer!
