Starting in 1969, the highest performance models were fitted with the new open chamber cylinder head, which along with design improvements in crankshafts, connecting rods and pistons adopted from the Can-Am - Biography
- development program, resulted in an engine with substantially increased performance and reliability. This development culminated in a specialty version of the engine called the ZLX, which was essentially a ZL1 engine built with the L88 engine's sturdy, four bolt main bearing iron block (it has been suggested that "ZLX" was a code name for ZL1 crossover). The ZLX, available as a short block assembly or complete "replacement" engine in the crate from a few dealers, was a resounding success.
