<VV> 10 cylinder engines

[kenpepke at juno.com]

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!

I believe there was a nice writeup in the Communique about 15 years ago on 
this prototype.
