Re: value of a ZL 1 clone with a real ZL1 motor
Even better...Make her a offer for the car. Then SHE will start thinking of what they could do with the money.

[/ QUOTE ] Already tried that... evidently she's hoping the car will be a future father and son project. So far, the son likes the imports more than muscle cars. If it looked like the car was being restored... I'd gladly sell the motor to reunite it, but there's no sense in the motor just sitting beside the car collecting dust too!

Re: value of a ZL 1 clone with a real ZL1 motor
I'd take the fathom green one with the match engine for 600k any day of the week over non original for 850.
but, I also like green...and don't like yellow.

Re: value of a ZL 1 clone with a real ZL1 motor
Well,
I guess I just got the opportunity to put my money where my mouth is! I just bought this 69 COPO (chevelle) engine:  To go into this:  my original car from high school as found in a junkyard that I just bought and will be starting a restore on this winter! Now I just need the tranny and rear!  Rich

Re: value of a ZL 1 clone with a real ZL1 motor
Looks like paint over grime? It was picked up yesterday by one of my employees and will be here sometime tonight then I can make a proper assessment.

The fact it is recessed or ground means you should inspect the block a bit better before purchasing to ensure it wasnt alterted so the block could be stamped with the head still on. They also break alot,just might be a coincidence. Check the exhaust manifold side to make sure it isnt restamped, so hard to tell by the pic but it looks a bit smooth on one end of the pad

Re: value of a ZL 1 clone with a real ZL1 motor
That´s the engine that was for sale at SCR9. The experts said it was a restamp.
