Re: yenko camaro
Did the original engine ever get reunited with the car? Is the L88 still in it??

Tom told me some years ago that he had the original engine in the car. He sent me a pic of the pad-stamp also.

Re: yenko camaro
As I recall the story, Tom installed the L88 early on, and kept the L78 in his garage...don't know why. Then when he found the car, he reunited it with the original motor.

Re: yenko camaro
I believe there are a couple of 68 Yenko's with their transplanted engine and orig delivered L78 engine as well. It is my understanding that orig L78 short block were sold via local papers. Over the years some have come up for sale and reunited.
