Re: ZL1 block found
 

I had one that had Mickey thompson stamped like that about 10 years ago or so. It had aj foyt also on the block, i think they were gifts from one to the other back in the day . thats my guess..

Re: ZL1 block found

Re: ZL1 block found
 

anybody know of any shop that might take the project on of repairing this block

Re: ZL1 block found
 

It would help if you could post some pictures of the areas needing repairs. Where in CA are you? I know a guy here that is pretty good. He fixes aluminum intakes for me all the time and fixed a ZL1 for me in the past.

Blue,

There used to be a machine shop that did high quality aluminum block repairs on Washington Blvd. in Whittier off the 605 He had a bunch of rare blocks he was just sitting on for years. Trying to remember the name of the place, but definitely remember the $8KUS to resleeve one cylinder (plus the repair) they did on one of Vic Edebrock prototype aluminum 427's about 10 years ago.

8K????? Seems a little excessive!

Re: ZL1 block found
 

i had my chevelle block re-sleeved for 100 dollars per cylinder. 800 bucks.
it is iron though, not aluminum
