Well, I have posted my photo's in the past of the 1970.5 Z28 I have and for approx 25 years I have known where the actual true matching motor and tranny was. It was with an old highschool friend and I do mean this is the motor and tranny that came down the assembly line and still has the VIN numbers as it was rebult many years ago and was not decked so number are still there! If you know what I mean that will had just a few dollars value to this true 70.5 Z28. here is the Z28 and my now new to us 79 Elcamino. The LT1 has less then 10,000 miles on it. Although the motor belonged to my bud Ricky, the car was title to his dad whom and he is the one that kept it all these years and he is 80 years old! Sounds crazy, the car never left South Knox County in Knoxvill TN, not far from the Dragon. I flew in last Saturday and bought it Sunday and drove all 1300 miles back to Colorado Springs. Have a few hot cars on the interstate that just could not understand why that Elcamino was so hard to pass! LOL She is still original block/crank/pink rods/TRW pistons at 11 to 1 with heads shaved and running 12 to 1 compression and about 425 HP! that 308 ring gear makes a nice little cruzer! Now, when the time comes I'll have to do an engine swap of course and make sure it's all dolled up to sit in the Z28!
