Stranger things have happened. I've found 2 ZL1 bare blocks and 2 near complete ZL1 motors here in Ga. 1 was in a purple Chevelle with a set of Grumpy's heads that were off his '70 Camaro. The heads were reunited with the Camaro when sixtiesmuscle bought it.
Odder still was when X11 71 71 found the original engine to my BBrown COPO somewhere in the Northeast. The car itself had only been in W Va, Fla and NM.
