Default Re: How many ZL1s did GM give to racers?

Interesting day yesterday. I heard from two GM historians (?) who both claim GM did not give away one single ZL1 to anybody. Until I see proof otherwise that settles a tiny piece of history for me.

Magazine articles back in the day indicated that Jenkins and others were using the 4.44" bore CanAm blocks rather than the ZL1 block. They got better power out of the big bore shorter stroke combinations it was claimed.
