Default Re: 66 COPO chevelle

Weren't the Z16s built in Kansas except one in Baltimore?
Dick Harrell had a Z11 engine in a 64 Chevelle that he raced. It is interesting that one of the first Chevelles to hit the drag strip was a 427 Chevelle but a W engine not a Mach IV BB.
I don't think the factory would put a 1963 Z11 engine in a 66 Chevelle.

I think you mean "Mark IV" [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] It's the last working day of the week, and I'm going golfing in a few minutes. I just couldn't help but chime in. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

In 66, I think there was no alternative. Perhaps metallic linings were available optionally to provide some help, but I don't believe discs became available until 67 [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
