Very interesting, Ray! So, anyone have proof of ANY L-89 Novas? I wish someone would find proof of the aluminum heads on the L-72s, as I would LOVE to run them on my Chevelle!

Dad's Camaro, the best we can tell from talking to the previous owner, other people who knew the car, and other people that know about Francis Chevrolet and lived nearby, came with aluminum heads. I seriously doubt GM did it, but somewhere along the way before the first owner got his hands on it, it had aluminum heads put on it. And, naturally, he had problems with them. We have talked with a guy who knew of another Francis Yenko Camaro that had aluminum heads, and had the same problems. Not only did the heads give them problems, but Francis wasn't too eager to warranty them. Frank Radake said Francis gave him the "run around" on warranty claims for his car as well.

The original owner of our Camaro said it was a pain to get his car fixed, as they told him at the dealership it had "special" heads on it, and they would be expensive to fix...they woulnd't warranty them! So, the car sat for 6 months before a zone rep finally came and had Francis fix the car.
