I remember watching #1 sell for around 55k so I thought maybe 32k was a real bargain?

I just do not see how these motors can be worth $32k a year or two from now. About the only thing they have in common with a real Zl-1 is that they are made out of aluminum and they are the same size but about everything else is different. The ram-jet ZL-1 did not have much of a following a few years after their release and it does not appear that they have helped the value of the cars that were resold with these motors in them.

Don't forget that the new motors are oval port.

When GM first released the block only is when I bought mine. It's # 16 I think I gave 4500 for mine then.

I would rather have your motor over the limited edition Zl-1 at any time. Nice carpet in your shop Albert, I have to walk around on bare concrete in my garage.

Al - that aluminum sure is pretty!
Hey Mark...I got some nice vintage orange shag carpet on my garage floor, even have the classic "shag rake" to make it look nice - HA!...people look at me like I'm a moron when I tell people I have to vacuum out my garage and rake the carpet...don't know why? Oh - since this thread is about ZL-1 motors...I'm not a fan of the "new" ZL-1 engines...I like GM Performance Parts' write-up on the engine and state how this new ZL-1 is grossly underated at 430hp just like the original...hmmm

Here is one for 23K. Still seems pretty pricey.
