The letters don't appear much larger than 2". Also, check out the monster tunnel-ram on Jenkins 68' Camaro, with a 427 (Not sure if it was a ZL-1
All-Aluminum engine in there) in several of the photo's. The Holley carbs look like thirsty 770-CFM units...

Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins ran the 430 inch "CAN AM" Alum.block in his X/SS and later Pro stock 68 Camaro. Larger bore shorter stroke (higher RPM potential) than the regular ZL-1 block but they were rare and hard to get. He had connections yet only had a couple of blocks on hand during the 1970 season. .
