Re: Corvette/Ecalibur??
That is true. Old Corvette racer JIM JEFFORDS was from Milwaukee and the EXCALIBUR was built by BROOKS STEVENS of Stubaker fame. BROOKS was good friends with Jim, and JIM had great connections with GM and Chevrolet from his racing days. The cars were not selling, so Jim said lets put a big Chevy engine in it. He called Chevy, and bingo, 18-24 left over 67 L-89 enginers were installed. Over the years, many cars got a ''free upgrade'' 454 so collectors who needed ''real'' L-89's for their Corvettes could get happy.
