'68 Yenko, Transplant vs. COPO

[JoeC]

If the car used the L88's Holley 850 double pumper carb Chevy Engineering would probably specify the L88 fuel pump. The L88 fuel pump was probably in short supply since not many L88s were built and would have to come from the Corvette plant so maybe there was a problem getting the L88 fuel pump or maybe the Corvette L88 pump would not fit in the Camaro. It appears they just put in a fuel pump to make the car driveable then let Yenko worry about replacing it. A 1968 Camaro with a L72 427 equipped with L88 parts, an M22, and 4:56 gear would be a quick drag car. It's too bad Chevy didn't make the 50 cars required to qualify it for NHRA like they did with the ZL1.
