Re: 68 yenko camaro
Not so fast on the 'GM documentation'!!
GM doc's say that the 'CTB' and 'CTC' engine codes are for '70 Z28 Camaros, 4speed and a/t respectively. However, GM doc's don't say that these codes were also used in COPO 9010/9737 for NOVAS!!!!! It appears that GM did not always recode the engines when they were used in COPO applications. The 'MV' coded engines could very well fall into the same situation. It might be a 396 under normal circumstances, but when used in conjunction with a COPO application it could be something totally different. I have seen some of the paperwork on the '68 Camaro, and it does reference an L72 engine being tested in conjunction with COPO 9737 for Yenko. I have learned; never say 'never' or 'always' where GM is concerned!! Marlin
