The back cover of the Jan. Hot Rod magazine has the ad for it. They call it the GM Performance Parts Aniversary 427. Go to gmperformanceparts.com for details.

looks like they are making 427-ZL1 all aluminum motors and an unlimited number of the aluminum headed 427(L88) version.
I bet the ZL1`s will be 20 grand or more as the 572`s are bringing 13 g.. they also will not state the actual hp rating of the ZL1 just that they are grossly underated at 430hp??
