ZL1 #55 lost its original short block early in 1970. At the ZL1 re-union at SC-Indy in 1989, an individual that worked at Whit Chevrolet was there and said he had the original. At that time, the car had just been sold to the Otis Chandler collection. I do not know if Chandler bought the engine. When the car sold at Mecum Indy 2008, the purported fully re-built original engine was on a small trailer behind it.
For 38 years, the car did not have its original engine. Obviously, the heads have been off and may not be the originals.
If it is an original engine ZL1 Camaro you desire, some concessions will be necessary.
Good catch eagle-eyes!
