Default Re: 68 Yenko clone

Gentlemen and cookies, I think it's great to agree to disagree. wonderfull? And I am glad that there are more original owners still out there, I feel old enough as is.I do think that its importent to know what 427 engine yenko put with his auto. trans. camaros.? What 427 chev. engine. hydro lifter, app. 400 h.p. from chevs ratings, is it? What L#, can anybody tell me,the only one chev listed then and now is the L36 390-400, 4barrel, 3,2;s, chev rated H.P. Had one in a 69 vette ,390 hp. 4 barrel, 4speed, almost no where to go to add hp. As to proof of the chevy fact's on the zxl or L36, just google it up , almost to much info, those are FACTS from the manufacture, and Wayne zxl had alum. heads look it up, if there's bs,its on the bottom of your shoes. AS I said for proof, just look up on this site, feature car dec 04, and read the repleys and look at the pictures.I am the good looking guy in picture 1, with the sunglasses, white t shirt, holding the first place trophy, next to the green yenko.(northstar dragways Mn. 1968. thats proof!) The guy I gave those pictures to and about 25 other's never returned any, 2nd owner after reso. I think. If theres any question on any thing I have said, I would certainly answer then and were I obtained the facts. I do not BS, dont need to. have not been around muscle cars for a long time, moved on to airplanes after my retirement. 36 years in the car bussines, most as used car manger, started with chev in the early 70's, just a few years after yenko build his 70 nova's. And I had a lot of talks with those men in the R.and D.dept. and 2 had worked on the project that put the drivetrains in the yenko and other's car's, that only about 3 years after the cars were built. I have more info .on the yenko project, but first we have to settle down the doubting thomas's . People on this site like to list the cars they have had, so here goes 1, 1962 bel air red coupe 4speed 409 2 4 barrels. 2,1963 chev biscayne 2 door post , silver, 4 speed 327 340 hp,390 rear end. 3, (my favorite) 1965 pontiac gto post, red,tri power 4 speed 360 hp ,370 rear end. 4, 1966 chev. vette convert, blue, white top327 350 hp. 5,1967 chev corvette 427 l71 3-2's 435 hp.maroon, t top.6, (only new oneI bought) 1968 chev yenko camaro, green, 4 SPEED,ys 8016# 450 hp. builtd up to over 600 by me and a friend. 7, 1969 pontiac GTO, 4 speed 400 350 hp dark blue same int, hood tach. ralley wheels. 8,1969 chev vette 427 390 hp(L 36 thats the one I talked about)8, bought in 1981, 1970 chev z 28 LT1 360 hp? 350,
4 speed ,red, black, stripes, ralley wheels. nicest driving chev I had, but not the fastest. And about 4 other ones that I bought as used car manager, for wholesale and sold for retail a short time later 1,1970 ford torino g.t.? orange, large black stripe down center of car,hood scope attached to carb big block 390 428 429 not sure, it was a ford, didnt pay it any attension.2, 1970 chev vette coupe,very low miles, 350, 300 hp. 4 speed charcoal, aqua int.3, 1968 olds 442 dark blue, 4speed,350 hp. texas car.4, 1967 pontiac. GTO blue 4 speed 400 350 hp. ralley wheels. well thats enough you get the picture. Now who can come up with the L# of the 427 hydro lifter motor, 427, that yenko put with his 67 and 69 camaros, that had around 400 chev, rated hp. And I do take remarks like I was wrong, very well, thank you Bob krueger
