68 Yenco clone

[PeteLeathersac]

This thread seems to be heading in many directions of facts mixed w/ well intended but some seemingly misinformation?.
But please carry on as a few things may result as true but previously unknown...like a '68 Gibb Copo Nova trans in a 68 Copo 9737 Camaro, stranger things have come to light before so why not?.

Back to the '68 Yenko cars specifically and nothing to do w/ the '67 or '69 cars, here's what I understand as true;
Although there may've been a few exceptions, the '68 Yenko's Camaros were built from Copo 9737 cars factory shipped w/ the largest engines in place being the unique MV Suffix 396 L78..
These were in place and operational but planned for Yenko to remove and transplant 427/425 L72 shortblocks reusing the heads etc off the MV engines..
* Real '68 9737 Camaros are identifiable by the MM Trim Tag also some of the previously mentioned options including the 140 Speedo..
** Again not all cars were converted and some were sold and/or dealer traded w/ their MV Suffix L78's still intact..
*** Some cars could've been transplanted w/ L88 or other engines..
**** 9737 cars could've been and/or were shipped from the factory to other dealers and not just Yenko..
***** If production of '68 Yenko Camaros is known, is it confirmed how many were 9737 cars and of that sold as converted or unconverted?.
Plus is production of the '68 9737 cars absolutely known...especially if other dealers recv'd 9737 cars!?

Again can anyone post the unique carb #'s shipped w/ the MV Suffix L78's?.
Also again, has the factory HP rating of the MV Suffix L78's ever really been confirmed as 375 like a 'regular' L78?.
