According to the original Yenko Chevrolet Work Order signed by Frank Yenko, they did the following:

Install L88 Engine
R&amp;R gas tank cutout neck for high test gas
Build distributor for engine
Fabricate motor mounts
Fabricate alternat and p.s. brackets
Fabricate accelerator linkage
Rewire alternator, starter and gauges
Install new oil pan and starter nose
Fabricate new gas line
Install 4.10 Gearset
Install Lakewood bell housint
Operational Checkup

This is how the receipt reads. There are also 3 receipts for parts and 1 signed by Don Yenko for the L88 Enagine

Guess I missed this post back in April. Again: I hope everyone understands, I am in no way trying to show disrespect for the car. It is a really cool car, and a part of Yenko history. I do know from experience that virtually everything for this swap was available over the counter or salvage yards. Also, changing out a starter nose is a bit different from fabricating starter brackets. Maybe to them, drilling holes in the subframe for Chevy mounts was equivalent to fabricating motor mounts. I am not second guessing the car or the work done at Yenko. Perhaps some of the work was &quot;puffed&quot; just a bit to help justify the cost. Doesn't take ANYTHING away from the car.
