That ZL-1 is beautiful. Putting it on the rug was a nice touch.

Re: ZL-1 motor build
I don't know if you've purchased your solid roller camshaft yet, but if you havent, you should really consider the Comp Cams 288 Street Roller. It's a great camshaft that I (and many others) have used with great success. Easy on the valvetrain and great power. I put many reliable miles and 1/4 mile passes on mine with never a problem. Very popular and with good reason.
