68 Yenco clone

Hey Bob...

Aside from the 340 Horse 327 Biscayne, I'm interested in #5 on your list: "1967 chev corvette 427 l71 3-2's 435 hp.maroon, t top."

Bet that was an interesting car huh.... particularly the t-top?

Belair62, you are right, the drivetrain came from a vette about the same vintage, that was totaled, my high school friend, named brian mcabe did the switch, and later sold the car , to me, not sure the year of the vette, but I think the top hp. on a 327 vette that year was 340. Bob krueger

For 1969, GM installed the L-72 427 solid lifter engine in both 4 speeds and autos, Camaros and Chevelles, known as COPOs, not only for Yenko, but other dealers as well. Not for sure what reference material you are using, but this is well documented in almost all reference materials dealing with high performance musclecars.

Here is a Yenko ad from 1969, listing the 427, 450HP as available with either 4 speed or auto.

wayne, finally an real question, my mistake the removable top panels, were on my 69 vette, and as I also remember the 69 had factory side pipes. Instead of personal attacks why don't you answer the questions, I asked before like the L# on the camaro 67 69 hydro lifter 427. If you google chev on the zlx motor you will find all the info I gave you plus more. what else would you like to question? Bob krueger.

Geez...I cannot tell you what the L# would be for a hydro 427 Camaro in 1969, as there was not a hydro lifter 427 available for Camaros in 1969. All 427 equipped 1969 Camaros got the L-72.

Bob.

There was no hydraulic lifter 1969 427 Camaro. At least in my universe. And I suspect the one most other people on this site are from. And I'm not the one who should be supplying documentation to back my stories. You should. And by the way, I sure wouldn't be calling a public researched online encyclopedia like Wikepdia a source of reliable hard data for musclecars.

I'm still waiting for real documented Chevrolet data from you Bob. You started this. Now finish it.
