I recorded this this (possibly a mistake) for my wife to see/watch. At the beginning there talking about ZL-1 and suck, like numbers made and the "value" of the "dated-coded" parts that go with it. I look at the wife and say, "that's the motor that's in the car in the garage".
Now they were going over this date-coded original this and that. But I thought the ZL-1's came with a natural alum waterpump? Not the black painted like the show portrayed?
Also, if one is doing a clone/tribute, are correct dated-coded parts really necessary? Like why not run say a 1971 dated intake/heads or waterpump/starter alternator. YES it's more authentic to use dated-coded parts, but that would drive the price up exponentially too. And save the correct date-coded stuff for real authentic cars.
I do want to do, and I'm keeping an eye out, for a 1969 Vette to make a ZL-1 clone/tribute.
