AFAIK and this is speculation . . . both options defied corporate's ban of engines in mid sized cars that were less than 10 pounds per 1 horsepower. Yet in 1966 the L79 was in the Chevy II brochure.

How did the 1970 Z28 fit into this? In the corporate vision did it weigh more than 3600 lbs? Maybe like the L79 Chevy II it slipped through th cracks.
Maybe it was because the Z28 was a complete option package and not just an engine option? Who knows.
