[/ QUOTE ] Actually a second design L88 it identical to a ZL1 except for the block material. In fact the later L88s puts out more hp than a ZL1. I believe it may have something with the sleeves in the ZL1s block and something to due with the L88s iron block having better thermal properties than the ZL1 block.
