Can anyone clarify for me the technical differences between
these two engines? Obviously, one had an iron block and the other aluminum. I believe the camshafts were also different. But what about the pistons, rods and '7115 crankshaft? I would expect that both engines used a cross-drilled and Tufftrided version of the '7115. I believe early L/88's used '842 heads and a closed chamber piston. By the time the ZL-1 came to be, the '074 heads were in play. This would have required open chamber pistons as well. Was this head/piston combination also used in the L/88 during later '69 production? Additionally, did both engines use the 4296 Holley? A couple of years ago on this site, we learned that many, if not all the ZL-1 Camaro's were delivered with 4346 carbs due to air cleaner to secondary fuel accelerator pump interference. Lastly was ignition and exhaust. The L-88 & ZL-1 Corvettes had the Corvette only exhaust manifold design; where the ZL-1 Camaro's had the standard Camaro style exhaust manifolds. What about the ingition systems for these two engines? Were they different? Nuch
