can someone spot me 75k? I'm just a little bit short this month. This would look amazing in a 69 z-28.

Knew it had to be Heartbeat City. Interesting engine.

Very rare engine,those hemi style heads where only built for race teams.they were never sold on production cars,I read some where there where only 20 some pair built.

Barrett Jackson would be the place to sell that monster.

They never even made it to race teams. About as far as they got was Smokey Yunick tested them. He concluded that they didnt really make enough power over a regular crossrammed smallblock to warrant production. I had one of those engines in a 69 Z28. It was neat but really just a engine stand that ran.

I have seen several sets over the years,Smokey must have made acouple sets.

He posts that and his ZL-1 ever so often I think for advertising. Not the first time he has listed it probably hoping to catch a fish.

Unless you're there to buy, don't think you're walking in there to shoot video for interested customers. That guy will throw you out by the seat of your pants. Not a very nice guy at all. I know...I've had dealings with him. His name is poison over at Camaros.net.

I'd have to re-read Smokeys book, but I'm pretty sure they only made 3 sets. Smokey didn't run a foundry, so he didn't make any, GM did.

Why am I NOT surprised to hear that.

What don't/didn't you have Charlie...?

As I recall they and from ones I know of there are at least 5 complete engines and even more sets of heads. I had one engine, Reggie Jackson had 2 engines, Al Maynard had even more.

[trapin]

I remember seeing one of those engines at Al Maynard's place many years ago. I used to buy parts from him all the time. I must have been 19 or 20 at the time. To be honest I thought he was bullsh*ting me when he told me what it was.

Kewl motor, however it'd be interesting to see if this engine would ever show up on e-bag:
