Chevrolet doesn't seem to care much about 53-year-old engineering info. Plenty of Chevrolet engineering documentation was published in the Chevrolet by the numbers books.

Today you can visit the GM Heritage Center and request a part drawing. If they can locate it, they will provide a copy.

I have the 2022 Chevrolet Performance catalog. The ZL-1 block casting is noted: DISCONTINUED-Check dealer stock for availability.

I am curious as to what the difference was between the 3946052 and 3946053 cylinder blocks. Put me down for $20 US.

Agreed. GM does not care about old docs like this - there is no liability or risk here.

GM will not provide copies of prints. If they can find it, you may look at it and take notes.....
