I have also been a fan of the show and will miss it. Sad that it ended badly for Dan and his shop.
As for the #68 ZL1 clone, remember they inherited it as a roller needing to be finished. The interior shots where they are trying to get the shifter aligned show that it was built from a ’69 Firebird body; the dash is completely different. They had trouble with the shifter because they used a standard trans cross-member, probably furnished by the customer. Trans is dated P8E02 and partial VIN was 18A; had a fine-spline input. I’ll stop here.
As for the engine, the casting sequence number appears to be in the 200s, beyond the range for production ZL1 Camaros. It could have been originally sold as a bare block or an assembly.
