Wayne, close but not accurate.This is from chevrolet, ZLX, 12.25 comp. L 88, ZL1, hybred.Iron block, alum. heads. In house use only, not sold. motion no thing to do with this motor.produced from late 60's to around late' 90's(chev alittle hazy about end date) only used for experimental purpose. end of the line for hi perf. 427's. most H.P. of all but unreliable. From chevrolet, also l-36 , desighed as a big block of medium H.P. for the use in the heavy sedan;s coupes they planed to build, and also as a motor for med. duty trucks, because of the broad torque band. Used to work for chev. back in the 70's, 80's. had chev monte carlo demo's 454, 345 H.P. chevy also used med H.P. 427,454. motors in there own brand of motor homes, in the 70's. remember those? Those were the days my friend , we though they would never end but. Thanks Bob krueger
