He did, but was for a different car made in Italy. Very period Ferrari-ish looking thing. Chevy brass saw it, decided the Corvette didn’t need any competition. Well before Shel saw the later upcoming SB Ford engine and AC losing the Bristol I-6 source.

If electric isn't bad enough who is going to spend that money and get a 2.3 litre 4 cylinder. What is the piece of wood at the back of the engine? Just being picky but I don't like the routing of the master cylinder cable JD

Thanks. Very good reason for not using the Chevy SB later.
