...........that video gives me a serious chubby. If wish it weren’t so far away. I’d love it in one of my cars.

Dr L-88

A "badder" ZL-1

Oh yeah !!!

I can get it to you as soon as your check clears. LOL

TTT. Very cool engine, If I didn't have the misguided belief that I should keep my 66 a numbers matching I'd buy it. I prefer your aluminum BB to any LS3 in a C2 corvette. Good luck selling.

Yeah, that's just as cool as it gets!

Oh WOW.....Im definitely a solid lifter, small block kind of guy when it comes to Corvettes.....but if I wasn't $11K short Id either:

1. Stuff this thing in my '72 C20 suburban with a 6 spd behind it

or

2. Put it on a stand in the middle of my living room and just sit on the couch staring and drooling!

Why oval port? Weren’t the L88s rectangular port?

Dr L-88

Yes, real L-88s were rectangular ports but when I built this I used oval ports because of better street response.......................... not that it has mattered since the engine hasn't seen 5K RPM.

That is one nice engine ,good luck with sale Rex. Elmer

Dr L-88

Thanks for the kind words Elmer. It is indeed a great engine and with 400 miles, most of which were in the first couple of years after I installed it in 2009, it's barely broken in.
