A friend we raced with around 1970 bought a Yenko Deuce after selling his '69 Z/28 racecar.

The Yenko had the same engine as the 70 Camaro Z/28 350/360 or 370 HP rating....

That Yenko went 12.5 or better driven to the track with steep rear gears, slapper bars and headers. Had big Pro Trac tires on it on the street.

Engine broke with not a lot of miles on it......Dealer where he bought it refused to warrantee it......engine was piled in the trunk, what a mess.........Wallace Chevrolet, Linden N.J.

I put a 302 in the Yenko from the '69 Z and it was sold for around $3000....and it was maybe a year old.....

Was probably the most fun car I ever drove on the street and the 302 was every bit as fast as the 350 since it was a blueprinted race motor......
