Re: Open Chamber Heads on 69 L89 Corvettes?
I'm not buying it. I did my homework on these when I was looking for a set for a customers L89 Corvette recently. I can find no other application for the 68-69 396-427 L89 motors than the 842's which are of course closed chamber heads. He claims Camaro and Chevelles were also equipped with the 074 open chambers after January of 69? I have here possibly the last known L89 Chevelle built in 69 (August of 69 Atlanta build) with it's original drivetrain completely intact and somebody must have forgot to tell the assembly plant that it wasn't supposed to have 842's because it does.
