Re: 68 yenko camaro 396 mv suffix engine
Sorry, I don't have my notes with me, the Excalibur Project was the internal GM code name for the prework they were doing in order to accept the L72 COPO request into the '69 Camaros. The rumor was that one of the '68 Yenko Camaros was actually a factory installed 427 car, sort of a Pilot car - has a special plate in the door jamb. IIRC, the car is white, red gut, sold new at Branine Chev in Mulvane or Winfield, KS. However, the rumor and the plate have never been fully confirmed since the Excalibur paperwork doesn't have a VIN on it, but it does indicate something about a carb change and export....
