Re: Yenkos Featured on Hot Rod
Don't know if they where installed in the cars from Yenko but I have seen a Yenko aluminum block with Yenko embosed in the casting.

Re: Yenkos Featured on Hot Rod
I always thought that it was the other way around, GM did the alum. BB's for the Chaparell program then incoporated them into RPO ZL1. I thought Yenko got involved after '69 and had them produced for his racing parts catalog, and mainly for his Marine unit.

Re: Yenkos Featured on Hot Rod
Mr. Holub has an aluminum Yenko block, as shown in the Hot Rod article - check the pics!
http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicles/97138/ I think i read that this block was used for racing only..not sure where I read this though! -Sam

Re: Yenkos Featured on Hot Rod
They were not installed in the Yenko cars, they were sold to racers over-the-counter. Yenko sold a lot of them to his Marine customers, some dirt track racers also bought them. I've seen several for sale at Carlisle swap meets, sometimes complete engines - carb to pan, fly to fan!
