Fred Gibb had to order 50 ZL-1s to be built to Qualify the Camaro to Race in NHRA. There was always a Mystery about the ZL-1 Camaros. Not much Information was known. In 1981 were it not for the Curiosity of "Bill Porterfield" and his Persistence in Finding Information on the 1969 ZL-1 Camaros. I believe the ZL-1 Camaro would have been Lost in History. Bill Porterfield Contacted Key people from Vince Piggins at Chevrolet. to Fred Gibb Dealership that ordered the first 50 ZL-1 Camaro's. Fred Gibb was key in Creating the ZL-1 Camaro!!! He knew a lot of information on these Special Camaro's. Bill has acquired a Substantial amount of Engineering Documents concerning these Camaros and the ZL-1 Aluminum 427 engine's. Bill Porterfield is also Credited for Finding a lot of Chevy Documents and Information from Chevy on these Rare 1969 ZL-1 Camaros. The Public did not know much on these Rare ZL-1 427 Muscle Cars. I got these Pictures for my Birthday from Bill Porterfield who owned this Very Special 69 ZL-1 Camaro Race Car. A ZL-1 427 Camaro is like owning a "Z28 that is on Steroids"!!!

(You Have Always Wanted to Go “Back In Time” and Order a ZL-1 Camaro the way “You Wanted it. ”). (Now You Can)!!! :) Primary Purpose of the ZL-1 427 Engine was to provide an All Out Race Motor to the General Public. with a Significant Weight Reduction compared to an All Iron 427 Motor. The ZL-1 also had (Aluminum Heads and Intake) compared to Iron Heads and Intake. So you can see that the "Weight Savings" was not just in the Block Alone. Remember in the Race World. Every 2 Pounds Saved is like (Gaining 1 in Horse Power. ) The ZL-1 Aluminum Big Blocks Weight was the same as a "1969 Z28" Small Block. so the ZL-1 would Corner and Brake like a 1969 Z28. The 1969 Z28 Dominated SCCA Racing that Year and Won the Title for 1968 and 1969. Most of that had to do with the way the 1969 Z28 could Corner and Brake. Your Normal Big Block Camaro was "Front End Heavy" for Cornering and Did Not Stop as well as the 1969 Z28 Camaro. The ZL-1 Engine was a By-Product of Can–Am Racing Technology. The ZL-1 Camaro Represented the "Best" of Chevrolets Research and Development. For Years a Cloud of Secrecy and Lack of knowledge has surrounded these Incredible Muscle Cars. The ZL-1 Camaro is the “Ultimate Factory Muscle Car” to come out of Chevrolet. For Chevrolet Motor Division. the ZL-1 Camaro was their "Crown Jewel. " Even though Chevrolet was not in the business of Building Race Cars. (these ZL-1’s are the Epitome of Chevy’s Factory Race Cars. ) The Block is a new ZL-1 427 Block made from the (Original) ZL-1 Molds. The Original 1969 ZL-1 Mold was found in 1997 buy a Chevrolet Engineer when the Winters Foundry was getting rid of Molds they were not using any more. He then Pushed Chevy to make these ZL-1 427 engines again in "Limited Quantities. " This Same Engineer did the "Up Dating" on the New ZL-1 Blocks. I have talked to this now Retired Engineer (Very Nice guy to talk to) and thanked him for bringing back these "Legendary ZL-1 427 Motors. " This Block will be a [Collectors Item] because of the “Limited” Quantities Made. These new ZL-1 Blocks have "Today’s Technology in Aluminum" and the Oil and Water passages have been Increased in Size for Better Oiling and Cooling. These new ZL-1 blocks are "By Far a Superior Block" than the 1969 ZL-1 Blocks. The 1969 ZL-1 Motor had the Largest Factory Holley Carburetor 850 cfm installed on a Production Chevrolet. List# 4296 The Correct Holley 850 cfm Carburetor List #4296 will be used. The Intake is the Correct 3933198 and has (TR) Washer Style Bolts. The Heads are the Correct #3946074.

Etc The Engine will be a Complete Rebuild and Balanced at a High End Shop that does a lot of the Race Cars for Colorado. Break-in on the ZL-1 427 Motor will be done on a Dyno. I will have Dyno sheets. The Motor will be over 500 hp “Depending on what Cam You want” also Tons of Torque and will be Very Street Able.

These “Special" ZL-1 Camaros had ZL-1 Emblems on the Front Grille. Rear Tail Light Panel and Hood to Promote the ZL-1 427 Motors. I have had the ZL-1 Emblems Reproduced for this Replica I am Building. These Emblems are Reproduced (At High Expense) to the Specs of the Two Show Cars off of Old 1969 Photos and Blue Prints. A Lot of Research was done to make these Emblems as Close as Possible. I have the GM Blue Prints Dated 1969 for the ZL-1 Emblems. I Will Not make any of these Emblems for sale . so Don’t Ask.
