Need help with this ZL1 block

[ZL1mike]

Thanks guys-

a couple more shots of this block in various stages.

We gave the block a light hone, really it didn't heed to be freshened but we had an intake gasket sucking some oil in and oh well new rings bearings and a new larger pan and smaller cc heads for just a little more squeeze.

The block is clean and ready for some new parts.

the pistons and rods

Hopefully these heads will fit brand new Nos 077 GM heads but they have been milled down and untill we do the math I won't know for sure.

The intake was ported and you can see by the top bolt hole it has not got alot of material around it and that is where the oil got sucked in. We used a race gasket on it but a different manufacture intake gasket will fix this problem.

These 077 heads we removed 118 cc s with extensive porting. I had these heads on my pro street malibu that ran 140 mph at 9.50 et on the motor, they work real nice.

Last one for now, but have a look at this pic of the Malibu in action with the ZL1 heads with all chevrolet motor 509 ci.

A picture is worth a thousand words and here posing are a pair of 427 ci motors that for the first time I have had them in the same picture together, but sadly I have sold one off, to a good friend that will take care of it.
