My understanding is that Bill King Engine Service had the contract to build the Can Am engines for Chapparal. Bill King sent the engines to Diamond Racing Engines for Dyno work and I believe CJ Batten did the head work. According to the original owner of my LS7 Corvette, purchased at Dexter Chevrolet in Detroit, the 454 in my car followed the exact same route before it got between the fenders.

Actually, I have to correct myself - Diamond had the contract, Bill King did the short block assembly, machining work.
