Damn, an race prepped L88, and Note: it wasen't the baddest version, the baddest chevy engine was basicly the all-aluminum L88 called ZL1, it even had a sharper cam than the L88 + open chamber heads, and with a weight of about 250 kg if i'am not mistaken, weights the same as a small block engine, not bad for being an bigblock =)

Think If Chevy would be developed even more powerfull engine choices in the 60s, like a Hemi chevy BB, or a Ford SOHC copy on their 427 with OHCs and Hemi heads =)

charlie koninsky was a member of our corvette club in Miami, florida. guess he was tired of it and just passed it on. It was a nice car the last time I saw it at Blake Chevrolet show in Homestead Florida.
