They were but corporate rules prohibited anything larger than a 400 cu in engine installed in an intermediate or smaller bodied car as from what I understand they did not want those cars to compete against the Corvette. That obviously changed somewhat with the COPO (limited production) and then again in 1970 with the LS6 and Corvette had nothing anywhere near that Chevelle.
