Wow, how long have you had that jewel laying around or is this something GMPP is selling now?

Larry, I'm a bit confused. WHAT IS THE NUMBERS MATCHING TOO? Does this have a 1969 Camaro VIN stamped on the block?

WAY more than 71 as a least 75/77 made there way into cars, 69 Camaros and at least 7 known Vette's, 3/4 are said to be OEM ZL-1s. GM did a bunch in Vette test cars too. There's a picture of Zora with 5 ZL-1 powered Vettes at the track. Couple were '68 I believe. 2 Whites, 1 blue, 1 silver and a dark, maybe green. That photo didn't show the Judski Yellow ZL-1 or the orange GULF ZL-1. Might show the white one?? My research show GM cast 300 "052" original GM ZL-1 blocks during its original run. 150 were for Camaro and 150 for the Vettes. Mine as one of these original first run "052" blocks.

Hiya,
That dyno sheet looks more accurate. Shoot, that engine could be worth some mega-bucks to the right person.
