Re: Rarest of the rare !
Yes I had a Z with one of those engines. No they never came in a Car. My understanding is this engine was in a Z28 but it was not in the Z28 from the factory. I think they traded out a experimental aluminum blocked smallblock so the Z28 still has a unique engine in it. Reggie Jackson has one of these engines sitting on his shop floor. He also had a running one in a Z28. There is also a 68 Z28 with one in it. There are a few. Mine was in a yellow RS Z28. It can be found in May 2003 Super Chevy.

Re: Rarest of the rare !
If I am not mistaken this is the engine that was in the cortez silver car that was at Floyd Garrett's in TN. The actual car is at Rick's in Athens GA and Heartbeat city took the Iron Block in trade for the All Aluminum Hemi Headed 302. The Silver Car sans engine is shown on Rick's Website and the all AL is shown else where on the site... I believe that it says something about mating them up.

Re: Rarest of the rare !
The yellow one in the above pic is the same one I had. That is Mick Price leaning over the carbs. The car was part of the Carl Dwiggins collection. Carl bought the engine at Smokey's auction and had Dave Tinnell restore the Z and install the engine.
