Original 1969 Corvette ZL1 Motor

"I recently got ahold of the previous owner whom I bought the block from in Oklahoma. The current history on this block according to him was that a relative of his (brother I think) was an avid collector of older Corvettes and also very much into road racing back in the late 60's and early 70's. His relative purchased a new 1969 Corvette with this aluminum ZL1 engine in it. This engine was not added later, but came directly from the factory. He told me there were two 1969 Vettes sold with this engine, one yellow and one white. 1 of the 2 is owned by a collector in Seattle, Washington and we don't know the whereabouts of the #2 car.

On another note, he stated for a fact that this engine was NOT an over the counter engine/crate engine as it has a real stamped number on the deck surface (98693-B). If it was a crate engine or over the counter engine, he said it would defintely have the CEXXXX number stamped into it."
