67 Camaro L78
When was the first L-78 67 Camaro first introduced? Spring or fall of 1967

The #1 Indy pace car was the first car with a factory installed l78 Camaro, however it was replaced with an L34 prior to race duties. Grumpy Jenkins 67 L78 was the first available for sale. I believe they were built mid March 67.

I know there is a story here, so why was the L78 replaced with a L34 before the race? Seems to me that the L78 would have been the better engine for this purpose.

Thank you Steve...

I think Steve is right for once. They also spec'd 307 gears but changed to 331's as they wanted more power out of the turns I believe. The rear end had the work order # and gear ratio stamped in it and then they restamped the ratio. I have pics here somewhere.

Thanks. I wonder what their concern was with reliability? Seems like it would have been reliable enough, but without being there we may never know.
