BBC engine code

[427.060]

Someone of Facebook posted this picture looking for information on the engine in his 1969 Corvette. I couldn't find anything on a BK code big block. Anyone know anything about this engine? He said it is a 4 bolt 512 block with 842 aluminum heads.

Yes, the 7XX suffix is marine originally.

We had an engine cooling release engineer on the GMT800 program who was kinda cute and a little bit of a firecracker named Pam.

When the specification guys were assigning part numbers and broadcast codes for all the radiators they made sure the biggest one was assigned the code "PAM".
