I thought that was true of the 67 bbc as well but COMP Cams and Sig Erson
says only 65 and 66 396/427 need this done.  Lunati only shows 67 to present
(probably so they don't have to explain why).  With 67 being such a
"transition" year for so many other things, nothing would surprise me
anymore.  I've had both sbc and early bbc engines with the groove and never
had a failure - but I never full-bore raced one either.
