I think it was said that ZL1 was about the same weight as an iron-headed 350. THAT'S BIG. Considering the LS1s weighed like 80 lbs. less than aluminum-headed LT1s, I don't see an LS3 as a monster, even if one adds another 100 pounds for a supercharger and all the ancillaries. Then it weighs just a bit more than LT1s from twelve years ago; that's not giving up too much mass.  That's still comparable to DZ 302s to my understanding... |
Just as an fyi, all of the '69 Yenko Camaros and 2 of the ZL1 Camaros got COPO 9737, which was the Z/28 wheels & suspension components...COPO 9737 also came on the '68 Yenko Camaros, as well as all '69 Yenko Chevelles and '70 Yenko Novas, and some COPO cars from other dealers were ordered with COPO 9737 as well.
