Looking for info on ZL-1 #26

[Charley Lillard]

I bought # 3 from Porterfield. It had a replacement engine in it. He had tried to buy the orig engine from the guy that bought it out of the car in about 71. The guy had bought # 26 from Cunneen. Porterfield found the orig block for # 26 and built it up for the magazine article and then tried to trade the guy with 26 for his # 3 engine. The guy won't trade. He was mad because he didn't get the # 3 car when Porterfield did. Porterfield gave up trying to trade him and sold off the engine for # 26. I later bought it from Stubbings and tried to trade the guy myself. He jerked my chain for awhile but was just waisting my time. I even tried to buy his car since he was never going to finish it. I gave up and installed the engine for 26 into # 3. At some point in time someone with a little common sense will end up with 26 and get a trade done.
