Default BALDWIN-MOTION ZL-1

I was doing some reading on Camaro Research Group about the ZL-1's since there is another hot topic on here concerning ZL-1 #66, and came across this:

For a car with a total production run of only 69, the enthusiast magazines of the era took notice. Super Stock was the first, featuring the #1 car in full AHRA trim, and another of Gibb's, believed to be #5, in the May 1969 issue. The street version ran an incredible 11.64/122 mph with open headers and small 6-1/2 inch slicks. The #1 car ran 10.29/132 mph. Popular Hot Rodding covered the same test in the July 1969 issue. Hot Rod reviewed this test in the July 1998 issue. Hi-Performance Cars August 1969 tested the now-famous #3 ZL-1 and ran 13.16/110 mph on E70x15 tires with closed exhaust and an AIR pump. Drag Racing magazine had Baldwin-Motion build them one and it ran 11.48/122 mph.

Does anyone know what number ZL-1 car Motion built for did the they just do a engine swap putting a ZL-1 into a SS396 Camaro, this would be a very interesting car is could be found! Any pics of this car from Drag Racing magazine?
