Anyone care to take bets on how high this bugger goes?

If they do bet their money on machining the block, I would not want to be around when it grenades! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Guys I have just built a new garage and I have a cedar fun room upstairs that block would definitely make a good coffee table. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif for https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif to sit on. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Guys!

I was just wondering about this logo based upon another post
about it. It certainly is the most detailed Winters logo I
have ever seen. You can even make out the "R" in the lower
right. Could this have been an original prototype that was
saved for some reason? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/ooo.gif

BTW, based upon some other feedback I have been getting on
this block, I'm wondering if it can even be fully machined.
I understand that the Tonawanda plant did all of the final
milling on these ZL-1 blocks back in the day. So that begs
the question: Does the Tonawanda plant even have the
original jigs, fixtures, and tooling required to finish
machine this part? If they don't, what are the
possibilities that any machine shop could come close to
getting things alligned properly?

Did somebody say boat anchor? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/stupid.gif

If the factory didn't want it...........kinda makes ya wonder.

Re: A rear Supercar oddity up for auction
 

As expected, this casting is up to almost $1,100.00 at this
time. I still am wondering what any potential buyer is
going to actually do with it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
