The Downside of Day 2: Polished Original Parts
 

I love Day 2 stuff. Unfortunately, sometimes hard to find original parts suffer. Polished intakes, alternators, aluminum heads, etc. have taken quite a beating over the years due to day 2 modifications using original parts. Here is an original Z/28 crossram that met the fate of the polisher early on and was put on a shelf shortly after. It is pretty cool in a bitter sweet kind of way.

Does anyne else have any other Day 2 factory parts they would like to share?

Want to sell it? It is literally dated perfect for my Z...

I will be selling it soon. I wanted to send it out and have it certified as original before selling it. Maybe we could work something out before then. It is definitely an original GM piece. I just wanted to give buyers piece of mind.

Jason, as much as I hate to say this, some of the GM stuff was "Over the Counter" and out the side door of the casting house. ie. Lost in production. Lol. But at that point in time, it was kinda like polishing up a set of heads off an LS motor today. To each his own I guess?

All, kidding aside, it is sad to see all of the rough cast gone on a lot of factory parts you have pictures of. A little blasting would bring some of it back, but not all the good stuff.

Well here is my offering for this page. I have an original 3946052 ZL-1 block. Was smoothed and polished up.

It may not be to some but I like all those polished parts. The heads and block are really cool.
