In engineering terminology "X" usually means cast iron. so ZL-X could just be GM's way of stating cast iron components.

I don't believe GM/Chevrolet ever used ZL/X in their sales pieces. As mentioned, it isn't in the green sheets book. I agree it's a Motion term that was popularized by Chevy parts guys in the know.
