ZL-1 #65 reunited with her original engine!!!

[ZL1_COPO_65]

The engine is correct and has been validated to be the real deal. I am working with a very talented group of individuals to get the sub frame assembly to the show. We know we do not have ALL the perfect parts, mostly need the correct transistor ignition, but what we have will be a super representation of the original Heart Beat of America drive train for ZL-1 #65 and represent the correct 9737 COPO option that was removed. The 140mph speedo is still in the car showing 39 miles. Our intent is not to install the sub frame, but display the race car side by side with its original equipment. I look forward to meeting everyone at the show and seeing all the other rare masterpieces!

Annie and I have the correct and NOS 1111927 distributor dated 8K11, the transistor, coil and brown distributor cap. Maybe we can work something out.

Very nice, may I ask who these talented people are?

Is there an answer to this question yet??

I have no idea about the white car hauler. If I had a clue, I would be on it like stink on poop!

Probably because they are waiting for the reveal at MCACN and don't want to spoil the show.

Bingo!!!

C'mon down to MCACN and see it all up <span style="font-style: italic">close and in person! </span> And to keep things even more interesting, this special display will be right next to a group of FIVE 1968 and 1969 L/88 Corvettes. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]

So - you're indicating that the ZL-1 engine on the dyno is the original engine to #65? Can't wait to see it at the show!

also, a bit of trivia - anybody know why the chaplets on those aluminum heads all have little &quot;dots&quot; in the centers of them?
