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.

Re: value of a ZL 1 clone with a real ZL1 motor
Well,
It'll be here in a few hours, so I can get some better pics, so far a few respected people (based on the pics I had) said that it looked pretty good. I was told that it has been in central Texas for some time? Of course, as allways, won't know until I get it here and get some close ups to Jerry and Kurt! Best of all, even if it is a just 512, I got it for a great price, if it is a real MP, then I got it for a smokin' deal. What was the VIN on the 427 at SCR9 ?

Re: value of a ZL 1 clone with a real ZL1 motor
OK,
It just got here. I paid right around $6,000.00 for it, which if it is a real COPO is a smokin' deal, if it is just a restamp 427, then as a running motor, only .10 over, fully rebuilt and complete, than that is OK too. It will probably be next week before I can pull the head, crusin the coast started today, and I am heading for Mississippi tomorrow.  I guess we can start with is there anything that precludes this from being a Chevelle COPO motor (ie VIN vs dates, any other external clues?) Cast 3963512 P GM 4 HiPerf Conv Cast Date C 11 9 A Heads 840's C 27 9 and C 28 9 Suffix T0408MP Vin 19K465533 (I think)
