Default Re: Cloning/427 questions

I agree with Rob on this one. You need a aftermarket Hi-Perf block. You could always get an aftermarket block and have Yenko Machined into it, or if you know some one who is really good with aluminum welding, they could recreate that raised crest found on a vintage block. With a new block you won't be scared to take it to its limits, but with a rare block like an original ZL-1 or Yenko, I think you would find your self babying the car more than really hammering on it.

Rob, I see that your ET has dropped substantially. What did you do to get from 12.10s to 11.70s?
