Chuck,
You asked where this engine came from. It was out of a low mileage 70 Z/28 that was totalled in 1970. It was taken out as shown (no exhaust on it - the ones pictured are to protect the ports only) and sat in dry storage for a long time before my friend Mike aquired it in recent years. The car reportedly had 6000 miles on it when wrecked and the motor condition would coincide with those facts as it is a fine looking specimen.
Later this week I will be taking a few more shots of it with Yenko user RSZMJT (Mike Thorpe)who owns this LT1. We are going to take shots of the head castings with the covers removed (spotless inside)and of the date coded wires, and various front profile shots in better clarity. These will be sent to Greg Roberts of NRG and Marlin where they can then add them to their respective Yenko Deuce posts. (see link above)
Great job Greg, and thanks for the nice words Marlin. I think Mike and I both enjoy things like this because it betters the info and allows those with a pure interest to restore their projects to a correct level.
Cheers!
