Guess I shouldn't be so mischievous. We might never have had the 427 Cobra after all, if it weren't for the Grand Sport Corvette...

I think the GS vettes intially had small blocks, and then maybe big blocks at a later time. I had thought that it was the fact that GM was installing 396's, BBC's, in vettes for the '65 model year that prompted Shelby to experiment/design the 427 cobra.
