You are totally correct with your info on the aluminum blocks, because the owner of my 68 396 L78 was one of the R&D engineers that helped Bill Jenkins and also used a Can Am Block in this Camaro to test different combinations. He stated that the car ran a 10.90 at Detroit Dragway and held the Stock record running one of the combinations. He has photo documentation of this car from one of the local newspapers stating the car runing this fast. He also stated that the aluminum engine was far superior than even the Motion L72 short block conversion that was installed in March of 1968.
