Thumbs up

Yes,that is the W-72 motor,and DEFINITELY a keeper.
It was a thicker block,better oiling(starting in the later half of it's production),starting in 78 the bigger cam putting out 220 hp,better valve springs,whole bunch of better stuff than just a L-78.
These cars with the "Z" code are getting harder to find in any condition,I know,I looked for a good one for a while.
Nice find
