Hi Guys - I have a 1969 Camaro with an L89 396 with a KE suffix.  When I researched this engine it says that there is no documented KE suffixed engines in the Camaro although it was planned to be used with a special heavy duty clutch.  These KE engines were supposed to be restamped with a CE suffix. However, this is a protecto plate car which shows that it was a KE engine.  Haggarty confirmed my vin to be a true L89 car as well.  I have heard of other guys that have seen this rare KE suffix in a 69 camaro as well.  Supposedly GM made the engines but aborted the special double disc heavy duty clutch at the last moment.  Could this one have made it through with the KE engine not restamped?  Appreciate any insight from the CRG team on this topic.
