<VV> 10 cylinder engines

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 Are there any pictures of this engine anywhere, and would someone post them? It would be very cool to see one!

The late Chevy Engineer Bob Kirkman had said there were several
built for test and evaluation purposes ... and he provided photos to
some members of the DACC.  As Mark noted, one was installed in
a Caprice as a test mule.  It took quite a bit of effort to give the 
Caprice the ability to turn without hitting the rocker covers.  I never
understood why they did not put it in the Caprice trunk!
