I asked him if it was originally a big block car. He said no... it still has the small fuel line. The guy he got it from did the engine swap.

----Joe,,, Maybe, but both fuel lines are 3/8ths, although small and big-block do differ a bit. If that's all he is basing it on, I think Id want to check the car out with my own eyes if I were interested. The car also has a big-block radiator support......Bill S

The ZL1 engine alone has to be 25k I would imagine. I would love to add that to my stable but I don't have 75k, but probably worth it. My $.02.

Yes it is a repo but I would imaging it still would be very expensive. I haven't been in the market for one but I guess they would be close to that price. Anyone know the cost of an aluminum ZL1???

That is not a GM built engine.

Check the differential for the code stamped on it. Different codes for big vs small block differentials and caps vs U bolts. Rear sway bar evidence on big blocks, bigger front sway bar on big blocks. The tach says 327/350 horse OR 427/390 horse. Oil pressure gauge says 427/425 horse as only solid lifters got 80 pound oil pressure, so something has been changed. I'd go with the 1967 all day long, in the end, you can fix the body and paint issues. I like that '67.
