Chevy did some crazy stuff back in the day; this ranks near the top.
ZL-1 Camaros #1 & #2 were shipped with Engineering engines built at Flint, not Tonawanda as were all the others. #1 is known to have been built with a long-style aluminum coolant pump [casting #3968811] that later failed durability testing and was not used in production.

Seeking more on Tim's pictured Auto Suffix ZL1 'Vette block, some info mentions Zora's Red Mule ZL1 Roadster w/ M40 so could possibly be the origin, car reported as destroyed after use or modified into another GM Engineering project.  ~ Pete .

Yep, crazy pic I saved somewhere years ago, Joe's posting w/ flared car and what appears to be Zora at the wheel reminded me to dig back in my old confuser for it but all I have of whatever car it was. Anyone know more about the Red Roadster ZL1/M40 Mule Tim's pictured Auto Suffix ZL1 Block may possibly be from?  ~ Pete .

That motor needs to go in an L88 automatic missing an engine.
