If you wonder how rare the ZR1 is and will be
I came across production figures for the 1967 427's, and according to this source.
L36 427/390 horse 3,832 (a $200.15 option !) L68 427/400 horse 2,101 (a $305.50 option !) L71 427/435 horse 3,754 (a $437.10 option !) L82 427/430 horse 20 (a $947.90 option ) What was this engine all about...love to hear the story!!) So...drive your cars till the grandkids put you in the home, and then sell em for big bucks. |
That would actually be the infamous L88 engine. The L82 was a 350 available from '73-'80.
The L88 was a barely streetable engine with very high compression, wild mechanical lifter cam, a big Holley, and aluminum heads. In race trim (headers, etc), it was rumored to put out close to 600 HP (Gross rating)...the 430 HP was a very under rated number.:thumbs: |
Our L88 version would then be the black widows that were released.
LGAFF 92 ZR1 #234 |
Those numbers are just the ones they built originally!:lol:

L-88 streetable:rofl: Well yes but don't expect to go for a midnight ride if you have any neighbors close by!! My L-88 wasn't quite that rare [1968] one of 80 but I would guess that number of these motors that went across counter is 5-10 times that which is something that didn't happen with ZR-1 :cool:
