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.

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.
