L88? WTF?

25TH Anniversary GT LTD Edition for sale. It advertises a L88??? what in the hell is an L88? what kind of horses does it put out in respect to an L98 and an LT1?

The guy is wrong, it has an LT1 in it, unless he swapped out the LT1 for a carb. I think the L88 was a Corvette engine from the 70's.

If it has an L88 BUY IT!!! That is one screaming motor. They came in the 67 and 69 vettes and were rated conservativly at 460hp i believe but they had more like 560...They are BEASTS.

L88-ZL1 there's no such thing. The L88 was put in 68-69 vettes and i think 67's. It's a 427 with alluminum heads. The ZL1 is an all alluminum (including block) 427 that came in 2 69 vettes and 69 1969 camaros.
And anyway i doubt someone would put a big block in a 4th gen because it would be a pain in the a**, wouldn't pass emissions, and you can get so much power out of an LT1 or an LS1.

I never knew a stroked ford could be so slow

[/QUOTE]DIEmustangsDIE I checked back February 1998 of CHP and you are right. The ZL-1 is not a L-88. The ZL-1 was only producted in 1969. Thanks for keeping me stright.
