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???

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.

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!

I overheard a guy at work (I work for GM) talking about aluminum SBC blocks that were cast in the late 60s for the Chaparral cars. In fact he built a gorgeous replica with one of these GM aluminum SBCs, I think a 331 or 377 or some other high winding deal. Will see if I can get any more info out of him.

Charley it would be pretty cool if you ran the alum motor on a dyno with the correct '67 single intake and carb and played with it on the dyno and see what you get out of it tuneing.

then do the same with the CE motor you have with correct iron heads singe intake and carb and see which motor pulls the best...that would make for a neat story and probably get picked up by one of the magazines.

oh and lots of vids in the dyno room

.

now get back to work slacker. & run a single carb on the car, everyone has a cross ram these days..whoopeee.

ps, the seats have not arrived..what gives??

Everyone has a crossram but not a cowl plenum crossram.
