The ZL-1 lot included three (3) engines. Two were complete, carb to pan, and the third was a bare block. As i recall, one complete block was one out of a car (can't remember car number) and the other described as a Yenko ZL-1 engine. The third was the current production block (bare). Bid to $50,000...reserve near $100,000.

What is the story on Yenko ZL-1 engines? I remember seeing a red '69 Camaro on eBay (and discussed here) with what they described as a Yenko ZL-1. Are these the blocks with "YENKO" cast into the front of the block? Would love to learn more about these engines.
