not worth it especially when they already started reproducing these blocks with an updated casting process like better main seal,lifter valley is machined for roller cams now etc.

they made 69 1969 ZL1 camaros and 2 corvettes. If it's real, it's probably a good investment, won't do anything bu appreciate. Those things were amazing, i shoulda been born 30 years earlier.
