Default Jungle Jim's Match Race ZL1

I got a July 69 Super Stock mag with a pic of Jungle Jim's ZL1 match racer on the cover. In the article it mentions that it is an aluminum 427 and driven by Jungle Jim and Steve Kanuika the car has run a best of 10.39/136 MPH Does anyone know If this was an original ZL1

From CRG ZL1 report:

Several production ZL-1 Camaros were raced by Dick Harrell, Shay Nichols, Ken Barnhart, Malcolm Durham, Lamar Walden, and others. It should be noted that some 1969 Camaros raced with ZL-1 engines in SS/C were not part of the production run. Bill Jenkins and Jungle Jim Liberman retrofitted engines into their racecars.

And some ZL-1 owners went the other way, pulled the ZL-1 in favour of a small block.

Jungle would often run a truck block for match race applications, based on my own observations from back in the day.
