Thanks Mr. Sam ....Bugsy ..the cowl plenum air cleaner is listed on the bill of sale as an option purchased...it is for the 67 Big Block configuration...it has the 5 windows. The 67-68 Z’s were 4 window if memory serves me correctly.

Doug, can you explain this engine to me? I've read through this, but can't remember if the engine that you just pulled out of the car is the Yenko installed 427? I noticed that it has the high performance heads on it. Were these installed later? I was going to ask you this at SCR, but you were pretty popular and someone else always had your attention.

Hey Freddie. Yes this is the Yenko installed 427/410 HP Hydraulic lifter motor. John the OO put 840 heads on the car after the fact ... we will be putting the oval port heads back on the car with cast iron intake and rochester carb

The Yenko will be headed to Homer City Pennsylvania this weekend ....to start the restoration magic process. It will sit along side the 68 Yenko prototype car as they did in February and March of 1968. Pictures coming soon .
