67 L71 Starter Brace

[Michael G.]

Does anyone have a photo or two of a correct 67 L71 starter brace?

The 1 Oct 66 Chevrolet Parts and Accessories Catalog lists the correct part number for 65-67 Corvette with special high performance (396, 427) as 3866768.

The 1 Oct 67 catalog also includes this part number for 68 Corvette HD 427 (L88?).

Michael,
I know you asked about the L46 but the L71 block is the same. Peruse this very recent thread.

The L-46 and L-71 starter braces were not the same

Curious Joe...how and why were they different?

The small block brace is longer than the big block. There were actually several different braces used over the 1963-82 period. I do not know how they all differ. I have several of them but not all of them (yet).

I think that the only starter brace that I do not have in my collection is GM # 3866768.
