Re: Can you help identify this Aluminum 427 engine
Soooooo, who is going to omment on the 074 heads on this engine? Acording to the people in the know on the L89 Nova thread they were totally wrong for THAT engine. This should be a 12.5:1 engine with these 074 heads?????

Re: Can you help identify this Aluminum 427 engine
074 heads are the only factory correct ZL1 heads...there is nothing wrong with those heads on this engine...yes, that is the correct advertised compression...
ZL1 = 427 cu in and L89 = 396 cu in....same stroke different bore, thus different pistons... Nathan...do you know how long that car has had the "stinger" hood on it?...

Re: Can you help identify this Aluminum 427 engine
My Dad got that hood in 1968 if I remember correctly, just a fiberglass hood.
Here are some pics.     I will have him look if they are easy to spot. BTW for those saying the heads don't work on the motor they have been on the motor for almost 40 years.

There will be a casting date on the back side of heads.

Re: Can you help identify this Aluminum 427 engine
Just to explain the reason for the questions is my Dad is trying to get his Camaro ready for a car show and I am helping him make the poster for it and wanted to be correct in identifying the motor.

Re: Can you help identify this Aluminum 427 engine
HAHA poor washing machines,they the brunt of the mess when they live in a garage.I sell lots of stuff on ebay and almost all of it is photo'ed on or in front of the washing machine.I have seen many other adds with the same location.Most common is the orange or blue stains on the machine from soap spills.I guess its the only flat surface in most garages that doesnt have crap piled on it because the wife wont let it
 BTW,thats a seriously nice piece you have there.Try and find the original home before you reinstall it.it could be worth a fourtune.
