Default Re: Need advice on new ZL1 engine

You could get a 1969 dated motor for that price. The new motor is not a really a ZL-1 IMHO,its a little underpowered and it would have to have the ZL-1 cam in it, (easy enough to fix). I do like the fact that Chevy is now making forged 427 pistons and a forged 427 crank again. The motor might increase a little in value after 15 years or so, but with all the ZL-1 blocks out there, it may not.
