With Piggins teaming up with faithful dealers like Dick Harrell and Fred Gibb and using COPO, factory-built muscle cars like the Chevy Nova and Camaros could get big-block engines they deserved, and their owners wouldn't be exempted from warranties. That's how the ci aluminum V8 ZL1 engine ended up in the Camaro.
Camaro ZL1s now sell for six figures; it's hard to imagine they were a tough sell back then, but here's why. That was a significant difference, but it was because of the car's top-of-the-line engine package. Despite making the car a racing monster, the engine came with a high MSRP as the sting in the tail. Many gearheads were not willing to pay up; only a few well-heeled drivers could. Fred Gibbs managed to sell the last of his 13 units repossessed in — that's 5 years later.
The automaker hadn't been upfront about the cost of the ZL1 engine package that hard forced Gibb to put a nose-bleed sticker price on the 50 Camaro ZL1s he had in his showroom.
With the Camaro being a low-volume yet turning a hard-to-sell sports car and Fred Gibb shouldering a substantial GMAC floor plan cost, he was forced to negotiate a mass return of new 37 Camaro ZL1 cars. It would be a mistake to talk about the '69 Camaro ZL1 and fail to deep dive into its ci V8 engine - the first aluminum big block engine ever used by Chevy. Codenamed the ZL1, this engine was originally developed for Can-Am racing, featured an open-chamber cylinder head and Notably, these features made the engine costly.
At least 12 engines got removed from Camaro ZL1's and sold separately. Despite being rated for bhp, the same as the L88 racing engine, this engine was much lighter, coming in at pounds because of the aluminum material used. For context, a Chevy iron-block ci V8 engine weighed about the same.
Front splitter — Instead of a traditional front air dam, the ZL1 incorporates a racing-style splitter to help create downforce. Front tire deflectors — The deflectors push airflow around the rotating wheels and tires more efficiently, reducing lift and drag. Belly pans — The ZL1 has two of them: one beneath the engine cradle and one at the rear of the engine assembly, just in front of the transmission.
They minimize airflow turbulence under the car. NACA-style ducts are incorporated into the rear belly pan for transmission cooling. Rocker panels — Although subtle in appearance, the carefully shaped rocker panels help reduce lift and drag, while also contributing to stability during high cross winds.
It is taller and wider than the Camaro SS spoiler and incorporates the center high-mounted stop lamp. In addition to the functional design elements, the Camaro ZL1 offers several aesthetic options, including a bright-finish wheel package, exposed-weaver carbon fiber hood insert and a stripe package.
The convertible top color choices include black or beige. Additional features include:. The engine also draws its breath through a unique induction system, with a low-restriction air filter, dual inlet paths and enhanced airflow through the supercharger housing.
Because the Camaro ZL1 uses electric power steering, the engine does not incorporate a conventional hydraulic power steering pump on its accessory drive system. This enhances performance, because no engine power is used to turn a steering pump pulley. The ZL1 is offered with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.
The higher torque capacity results from a strengthened output shaft, high-strength rear housing, and additional roller bearing. The MG9 has also been tuned for improved shift feel, with a dual-mass flywheel, twin-disc clutch, and triple synchros for smooth, precise shifts. Similarly, the Hydra-Matic 6L90 automatic has been strengthened to handle the torque and horsepower produced by the 6.
It features a strengthened input gearset with two additional pinion gears, additional clutch plate, and a strengthened output shaft and gearset.
To make the ZL1 perform equally well on street and track, the 6L90 features three distinct drive modes:. The Camaro ZL1 is also equipped with a dual-mode exhaust system, which alters the sound level and character in response to engine rpm and throttle position. The drivetrain is unique to the Camaro ZL1 and is composed of a stronger driveshaft and rear axle system, featuring a larger, stronger 9.
A rear-differential cooler reduces temperatures in the differential by more than F. See Also : zl1 convertible production numbers Show details. See Also : zl1 production numbers Show details.
