NO, ZL-1 is going in the '69 Nova. Going to be set up for F.A.S.T. style racing and another series up here in Canada that MUST run a dual-plane intake. The ZLX will be the "back-up" to this ZL-1 and will most likely be more street then the ZL-1. Also looking for another car for one of these over the winter/next spring.
The 427/390Hp motor WAS in the '69 Nova. went 10.40's as well. This was the 427 "Polished Sneakers" motor that Pat Budd built years ago and since it's just sitting in parts, might as well put it back together. Same with the old L-78 "spec" motor. Short has been together since it ran 10.47, but did sell off the top end. BUT since I have aquired the ringht '69 840 heads and matching '69 "163" intake, or a few other "Day 2" intakes. These motors might see some time in either my '67 Acadian that is going back on the street, or my '61 409 Pontiac if there is an issue with the '09. Also looking at a nice '57 that has a junk 454 in it, so one of those 2 could be a nice addition.
So these 4 motors, "COULD" see any of the 3 current cars, or the 2 that I would like to acquire. I think the ZL-1 SHOULD be in a '69 Camaro and not my Nova. And I just like a "driver" '57 Shoebox.
