Question: 1967 Corvette RPOL71&RPOM21

[2010corvette]

Recently at cruise night discussion was on 1967 Corvette with RPOL71 Engine and M21 Muncie transmission.
I was told in the 1967 Model year the L71 engine could be had with M20. I disagreed.
Please give your thoughts.

Simple answer - the L71 engine was only available with the M21 close-ratio 4-speed transmission. The M20 wide-ratio transmission was available with the 390hp L36 and the 400hp L68, but not with the L71.
