MY ORIGINAL ZL-1 MOTOR DYNO'D !!!!! 540 HP!!
So I got the word today...after a slight problem with one pushrod, the head was bolted back on the original motor from my ZL-1, and it dyno'd at 540 HP!!! After all these years, she purrs again....I really need to get crackin' on the car restoration nowwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish my motor could talk....I can just imagine all the memories it has...and all the stories it could tell!!

Coil...(is this correct??) [/ QUOTE ] Later model GM replacement, original has embossed 207 or 176 number, not painted number.

[/ QUOTE ] What RPM did you get that 540hp at?...also what is the different cam you used, manufacturer and part number? Nicely done
