Re: 68 yenko camaro 396 mv suffix engine

It has always been my understanding that all 1968 COPO 9737 cars were shipped with the unique MV Suffix coded 396 L78 engines installed with the plans for Yenko to transplant the 427/425 hp L72 short blocks reusing many of the 396 bolt on accessory parts. However, not all the cars were converted and some were sold or dealer traded with their MV coded L78's still inplace.
