I'm assuming Koresh's car got a resto of some sort? Last time I saw pictures, it had sidepipes, mags, and some custom "bodywork" courtesy of the Feds' bulldozers.

As far as I know at least three of the -68 Yenko Camaros got their 427 engines at the factory. Two all iron L-88 cars and one L-72(the "Heath car"). All documented in some way.
Aren´t they considered to be "pilot cars" for the -69´s to come ?

The Heath car is an interesting one, I've talked to prior owners of that car who laugh about the engine part - it had several engines before the 'One and Only on the Planet' giveaway. The common belief is that there were indeed no proven 427's installed into the '68 Camaros. The pilot car situation is the closest one, but we don't know the vin # of the paperwork for the pilot car!

I won´t argue with you Marlin, since I have only read about it in two articles, from 1996 and 1997.

It says in one of them that all three Yenko Camaros, one white in Illinois, one black in Indiana and one light blue metallic in Colorado, have some sort of documentation.
Heath found a broadcastsheet in his Camaro it says, and that made Chevrolet investigate if it had been built with a 427 at the factory.
The other two all iron L-88 cars still have their protect-O-plate according to the article. The engine code is said to be MV.

Has it been confirmed that none of this is true ?

The "All Iron L-88" sounds wrong to me? A L-88 came with alum heads..! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif NO..???

True !
But if you for some reason don´t want the aluminum heads, but want the power from the L-88´s cam, pistons, intake, carb etc. Then you put iron heads on it an get an "all iron L-88" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

I believe the last -71 LS-6 Corvettes were sold with iron heads for 600$ less, and they were still considered to be LS-6 cars.
