Actually, the LS6 I was refering to is in production today

The 7.0L C5R block-based engine would fit without too many modifications and would be much quicker than that aluminum Rat block.

BTW- I'm building a 454 (actually 461) to put in my Caprice. The rason I'm not going with a stroker is simply because I got a decent deal on the engine. It is a mostly complete 454, but needs a rebuild. I'll be adding better pistons and possibly better rods, but I'll be reusing the stock crank if it's still in good condition.

 

i live here in charlotte, nc. if anyone knows of a shop who sells crate engines and has a 427 alum bbc that i could take a look at please let me know.

 

So your shooting for someting like this http://www.zlx.com/camaro/zl1.htm

 

yes sorta thats what im shooting for, except that has the 572 bbc engine in it. i wish i could afford one of those engines cause id put that in instead of a 427. but they are only hand building about 900 of those 572's. im sure they will be very expensive.

yes thats what i want, like the last one as long as it has an engine just like the 69 zl1 did. and the last one needs a funtional cowl hood and not the ss hood, but that car is awesome. thanx for the pics man.

 

All of the cars except the bottom one are 69 ZL1's all orginal. The bottom one is my 02 ZL1 #46 with the C5R 427. THe motor is all alluminum but it is fuel injected not carbuerated.

Here is a pic of another 02 ZL1 427 engine compartment.
