Yellow69Z28, thanks for the pics and posting the progress on the Mac Chevrolet Car. My brotherinlaws brother raced ZL-1 #22 car that the above mentioned aluminum engine originally was born in. He raced it with a 396/375 HP L89 engine.

Jeff, I did hear that from Al McNamara when we were talking shop about this car a few years ago. What Al told me was that the ZL-1 engine was also raced in a 1969 corvette before it blew up and AL had it polished and placed in his Chevy showroom.
Do you know what VIN was on that 396? Was it from a Camaro or from that Corvette?
I was also told that they had a hard time selling #22 as a ZL-1 and swapped in a 396. But where did that 396 come from?
I also may have the original cowl air cleaner for #22, muncie and POP book that Al gave me in 2004. I will have to lookup your VIN number on the list.
I also may have a Photo of that car on Al's lot from 1969.
