Default 1967 Corvette RPOL71 engine.

If anyone would know, that person would be on this forum.
I have a question for the 1967 Corvette model year?
Could 1967 Corvette with RPOL71 engine (427CID 435BHP be had with RPOM20 Muncie wide ratio 4-speed transmission 2:52.1 first gear?
I could not remember and couldn't find the answer.
Believe in 1967 the L71 engine had to be had with M21 Muncie 2:20.1 first gear with 3:55.1 posi axle was mandatory. Or I can put it this way. Customers ordering L71 engine had to buy optional K66, G81,& M21.

Nope. All 1967 L-71's came by default with the close-ratio 4-speed (M-21, 2.20:1 1st gear).
