Terry,

The engine wasn't cheap. I would rather not say how much as I will probably be selling it after I get it checked out by the machine shop. It seems like what the last guy paid for something makes the next guy think it will be priced the same and causes hard feelings. This engine is beyond awesome and I just gained a new level of respect for ZL-1s. can anyone share more info on hiding date codes, things to ask the machine shop, fair asking price, etc?

Tnanks,

Jason

Just heard back from the machine shop. No cracks or flaws in the block. So it should be for sale soon. It will need new sleeves to make it a 427 again. It now has sleeves that make is a 510. He's checking the heads now. I'd rather sell it to someone here than put it on Ebay, but still have no real idea of value.

I bet you could come pretty close too. He wouldn't budge if that is helpful. Where did you look for a date code?

On the 2 ZL1 blocks I owned, If I recall they were on the side bank below the cyl heads closer to one of the freeze plugs....I couldnt remember anymore on which side but I recall one I had had a date code of 5-26-69...

I've decided the price will be $17,500 providing the heads come back with a OK. Included will be the block, heads, crank, intake(163), oil pan, timing cover, and push rods.
