Based on the photos in that magazine feature I do not believe Jungle Jims car was a factory ZL1.

Ditto that. I believe a ZL1 was installed at some point, but not by GM.

I believe the car was sold to Collins and Hickman and ran Pro Stock and modified eliminator also.

Thats true,
I worked there in the later 70's and man did I get a bunch of neat parts off some of the cars they raced and throw away parts off cust cars. If I could only have it back or had kept it Drums full of smog, holleys and exhaust manifolds not to mention the stuff guys never picked up. A good friend of mine ended up with the truck. One summer party at Steve's house they made me drop the headers on my LS-6 and take everyone for rides terrorizing his neibors, yes that was my daily driver with 4:56 gears made 462 rear wheel HP on their chassis dyno , one the perks of working there. Those were the days !!!!
