There is a guy 20 miles from here with 3 of those exact NOS replacement motors with the crates to go along with them [they have a 396 bore],there is also a vendor in NY with 2 i sold him 4/5 years ago .While always a neat piece for sure, Im not sure id use the words "holy grail".

Still a very rare nice find Chuck no matter how we look at it. There is one up here also way up in Canada in the crate.Guy bought it many years back for a 69 Camaro and never used it. Swares he will have another Camaro someday once he finishes putting 5 kids through university and is holding it for that car.
I have to comment on the "DICK" on the chevelle site that says it is fishy. What is wrong with people. All we hear is show me the pictures well there they are and some still people don't believe that someone could keep that through the muscle car boom.Well there is a lot of us weird people out there me included that our parts were worth more to us than money over the past 30 years and if my health was good I would be still sitting on every bolt.It has only been 4 years since I sold anything so my stash of 55 BBC was small by some standards but a lifetime of gathering to me. Mine is fishy also I guess.
Oh Chuck look another one of those bare metal GM balancers no orange paint on the puppy either. LOL
Take care Joe https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

I have a copy of 1977 National Drgster.It shows Don Yenko's ad when he started selling this blocks.I have a October 1978 Hi Performance Cars mag about Pat Musi's BB Pro Stock Monza.Pats out of Carteret NJ.Real nice article on Yenkos ZL1 block he used!You can see Pat had the Yenko badge on the front fender of the Monza.Heads used were AFR GM Aluminum heads.

just out of curiosity..what would be considered the 'holy grail'?? Hard to think of anything better..perhaps the NOS Hemi 302 motor that Al Maynard had..but thats just a small block...Any ideas??

The tractor trailer with the eight+- missing/stolen 1969 ZL1 Camaros on it, parked in a warehouse since 1969. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif You'll find it sitting right next to Walt Disney in his frozen, liquid nitrogen, sarcophagus cylinder.

Everyone's "holy grail" is different...and subject to 1000 opinions on why it is or isn't. To some it's cars, to others its NOS parts, still to others its something else entirely. I found mine last year.

This would certainly have to be near the top of the list in the Chevrolet world:
