Default Anyone install the Ramjet ZL-1 in a 69 Camaro?

Well......
I've finally had Jerry M. come down and certify my ZL-1 before I started any work on it. All these years I've owned it and I've recently just started thinking about doing something with it. Unfortunately, "these times" have made me re-think alot of things in my life!! Anyway, when I bought this car, I had always planned on taking it down the strip just the way Chevy intended...I was always worried because I did not want to hurt the original motor, so fortunately, Chevy did me a favor and came out with the ZL-1 Ramjet motors...I managed to purchased the serial numbered 34 Ramjet Motor to match my car. Although I am still up in the air with the car a bit, I am seriously thinking about finishing my car...and for now, installing the Ramjet Motor, and non-original 4-speed and 12 bolt rear ...Then I can take it to the strip and "WOMP ON IT" for a while.... just like Chebie wanted!!!..I will store the original motor for now until the car can be "officially retired" to trailer queen status .......ayayay

Anyway...I was curious if anyone has installed a Ramjet ZL-1..or 502 for that matter..and any issues?? electronics? fuel system?...and does the plenum clear the cowl hood??? It would be cool to see a pic of how it looksssss!! I remember an article after the motors came out about the motor installed in a red 70? Chevelle vert?...anyone have that article?



Thanks, Max
