Scat crank and rods and Diamond custom pistons.

Jody, what happened with the GM heads? I thought one of Ross's goal was to "Keep his GM car all GM."

Then again the AFR's are a HUGE step up in terms of flow.

Probably 75-100 HP above what he had. The GM (Edelbrock) heads have a funky chamber shape and many pistons don't fit. His would have required major work to make them fit, so he and I talked and thankfully he ended up selling the GM heads and buying AFR's.

It is sure nice to see some real progress on the ZL-1! It has been pretty crazy I must say with all of the "problems" that have reared their ugly heads . And major thanks to Jody for putting up with me and that big pile of aluminum!

Jody - I knew that was coming!



Bill - Finally found a minute to actually type a few words instead of lurking around.
