how many zl1 motors were made

[ZL1mike]

yes you can and I will if I can get one reasonably priced, I have another pair of NOS 077 ZL1 heads and an 198 intake I was saving to use on my next project, but this one i was going to make it 12-1 comp ratio.

`after owning a couple of the vintage ZL1 blocks / ZL1 motors I think now I would rather own a new block like this one here in the box, wow what a masterpiece. Too bad it's almost twice the money $10.k minimum cdn plus 2 taxes 15% here in Canada from my GM parts dealer.

I was looking on the web at a site that has the new block listed and it is $6,250.00. They seem to have a pretty reasonable price on most of their engines although I only started looking recently.The link is-

Check with your local dealer. I bought mine for 5050.00 but that was several years ago.

I thought I'd share this here.
This is an original 2 page Flyer mailed out to the P&A Manager at the Chevrolet dealerships.

I too am curious about production amount. I have an aluminum 427, casting # 3940652, I cannot find a serial # but on the passenger side down low next to oil pan it has a # 66 stamped in it. what is the rareity and value?

Good scripture there Luke 10:27.

Who is the original source? I was a superintendent in production at Tonawanda MCP in the 70s. Maybe I know him?

It has historical value.

As for monetary value, ask the people that have been sitting on internal Chevrolet Engineering documentation for decades. Still waiting on the big payday. The people ready to write the book have given up in frustration. The number of people that care is shrinking fast.

As long as the Dog In the Manger act continues, the entire ZL-1 story will not be told.
