Did John ever put the ZL1 engine back in the Orange car? Last time I saw it he was still running an L88.

In the February 1992 issue of VETTE VUES MAGAZINE there is a complete story on the Daytona yellow car. It chronicles the chain of events and about the engine.

I read the chain of events on Rogers website. The CE Zl-1 was removed and a 454 was installed in its place. Is there 100% documentation on the CE engines numbers and that its the same CE engine that was 'found' years later or is it more of taking Waynes (from Zip) word for it?

Joe, Warren, and others,

Thanks for all the information you guys have provided to the CF on this issue. As an owner of a '68, that is interested in the '68 - 72 history, you guys are an asset to some of us who know part(s) of history on the rare cars of this era in Corvette history. I learn more each day. Keep up the good work!
