Hello,
I am doing some research into building an L-88 engine for a project. I know the L-88 in 1967 used a different head, but I'm not sure what it was. I'm trying to determine which heads were used in the 3 year L-88 program, which heads were used in the ZL-1 program, and how the cross-over between the L-88 & ZL-1 programs worked ( if at all ). I've been told the L-88 ( 68 through mid-1969 ) may have used the '842 closed chambered heads. Sometime in mid- 1969, the ZL-1 came into being as did the '074 open chambered heads. Is this where the cross-over happened? Here are some questions: 1) Were all L-88's equipped with aluminum heads? 2) The ZL-1 was open chambered, but when did the L-88 go that same direction? Was it also mid-1969? 3) Where does the whole LS-6 program fit into all of this? 4) Does anyone have an example of a closed chambered L-88 piston, open chambered L-88 piston, ZL-1 piston that they can post pictures of? I thought this would have been easy to figure-out. ![]() Steve
