Re: ** 73 Baldwin Motion Chevelle**
Why call it an L88 then? I'm sure it may have been done, but has anyone seen anything to doccument GM calling the iron head offering an L88?
I know Don Yenko called the Nova LT1 a Corvette engine in his marketing. Maybe GM was doing the same thing. I personally would not accept calling an iron head motor an L88. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Enoch</div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Plowman</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I though L88's had aluminum heads. </div></div> you could get over the counter L-88's and L-S7's with steel heads. </div></div>

Re: ** 73 Baldwin Motion Chevelle**
If you look at kevin suydams 67 L88 vette, his L88 engine has the aluminum heads are painted. If you look at some of his other significant BM cars, the heads are also painted (phase 3 conversion on a vette).

Re: ** 73 Baldwin Motion Chevelle**
In the original build article it stated that an L88 was installed because Joel calculated that it would cost about $500 more to build the original 454 to make the same HP
