Joe,
I placed the ad for Bill who owns the car. His protect-o-plate had the original owner who I still found in Tennesee. I don't remember the dealer. The protect-o-plate may show the dealer. The original owner said he had the L88 installed under warranty since he worked at the dealership...those were the days!

Was this Elcamino in Shaumburg,Il. in 1997-98 at the NCOA Chevelle Showdown?

It could be an L88 short block with the L78 heds reused.

I thought some L88's were iron headed...

Rick,
Bill did have the car at the Schaumburg, Il Chevelle show in '98. The original owner told me it was an L88 he had installed. I never checked the numbers myself. I'm sure Bill could get the motor numbers.
