School me on SS427s!

I'd have to say that there would be a high probabilty of a 1967 Full-Size L-72 427-425 HP car. Colvin's book lists an engine suffix for 17 possible engines shipped from Tonawanda, so maybe a few did see the lot of day. Another interesting fact is that the L-72 was available in 1966,1968 and 1969. Just seems strange that they would skip a year. I tell 'ya, those L-72's really are something else. I know people like to talk about L88's and all, but a well tuned L-72 is just one heck of a street engine that will tear your head off at the drag strip on Saturday night, but still well-mannered enough to drive to work 5 days a week. I'll take mine in a '66 Corvette, thank you! That just has to be a brutal, dangerously fast little Musclecar!
