Cool stuff you're coming up with.
One question. Is the CE block that the owner was talking about a ZL-1 or some other engine?

[compos mentis]

Its a warranty replacement ZL-1 block to the best of my knowledge.

nice to hear the sound of that motor going down the track! :-D

[compos mentis]

Agree big time to hear an old motor run like that.

A bonus is that its a $500k-$1mm car.

And also during that all to brief on ramp run...

It's great to see someone actually usin a zl-1 for what they were meant to do! I've always wanted one. Maybe one day...

[compos mentis]

They don't seem to be dropping off in popularity judging by how many clones I see for sale, but more iron blocks lately.

ZL-1 motor IMHO is the way to go with a clone. I think the higher sales prices I've seen justifies the added expense.
