Thanks guys. Had a death in family and just dealing with it. Looking for a future investment that I might want is the reason for this thread.

I'm probably going to do a '69 ZL-1 Vette as I already have that motor. And sorta a ZLX type deal with my '69 Nova so mirror the ZLX Camaro.

Thanks for the input.

Please keep us posted on if you do a '69 ZL1 Vette. A local friend found a full ZL1 over the counter long block built by Tonawanda and stamped for installation in an automatic Corvette. He's looking for a car to install the engine.

Tim, will do. I a few different trans that I could use. Not sure I want a stick with my motor. Mine is done like a F.A.S.T. style build, looks OEM on the outside, but far for OEM inside. Mine dyno'ed at 785 after we got the bugs worked out. And that's with the 198 intake, 074 heads and even OEM style "cheater" chrome valve covers. Now I need a body for the '69 Vette.

I'm thinking my ZLX should be in the 900hp range with the Day 2 parts.

Motion advertised the 454 Vega as a 9 sec street car

In 1974 Ro McGonegal wrote an article on it called "King Kong is Living on Long Island"

HP to Wt is higher then a 427 Cobra , safety rating probably lower

YES I'm quite sure a Motion 454 Vega Phase III would be right at the top of the list. I also think that the Grand Spaulding "Mr. Norms" 1968 GSS 440 Dart would run right with the Nickey, Yenko and Dana 427/454 cars too??

The BM cars seems to have the edge in performance as they had headers and the other were manifolds. And IF someone was CRAZY enough to order a AL ZL-1 block with the ZLX 480 inch internals for there PHASE III BM Vega, well there again is a whole new animal.

Too bad Grand Spaulding never got into the Hemi swaps like Yenko did the 427 swaps? They would have some pretty wicked cars for sure.
