Does it have a partial VIN? What is stamped on the pad? Block casting date?

 

The engine casting number 3946052
Cylinder head casting number 3946074
Intake casting number 3933163

Most of the ballers hang out on yenko.net

Thanks, we’ll check that site out.

 

Yenko.net requires sellers to pay a $30 a year (I believe) fee for the privilege of listing on the 'buy or sell' forum. That's quite reasonable in my opinion for access to the big money buyers that hang there.

 

The intake should be a 198, need some stamp numbers

 

Need the vin from the pad stamp

 

If you can get the partial VIN off the pad I can forward it to someone that probably knows who owns the car it goes to...

 

Without the VIN and all of the numbers and dates, it could be worth very little $3K or less. But to the right person who owns the original car (or will create one), it could be $30K or more.

 

Some ZL1 engines were sold over the counter and will not have a VIN. Not sure if these were stamped CE like others.

I think the value will be significant even if it is an over the counter sale. A good four bolt 512 block is worth about $2,500 so I’m betting a complete ZL1 is going to fetch a tone of cash.

There is one for sale at Heartbeat City for $27k

Pics of any stampings would be nice to have.

 

 

Now all you have to do is take a picture of the block ledge on the front passenger's side where the head meets the block. Right near the water pump.

I'm guessing CE.

CE is the next best thing to an actual born with ZL-1.

 

Docandjer04, this is the area they are talking about that might list a VIN or other significant stamp. look in the area shown below, facing up;

 

Thanks

 

If it has a partial VIN of 659293 and is an original stamp, I'll take it! (yes guys... I know my car isn't one of the original ZL1s) Nice find!

 

Looks like a fresh rebuild. Was it decked?

Anything stamped on the side of the block by the oil filter mounting area?

There were aluminum blocks sold over the counter.
