Default Finally installed my Date coded L78 Motor

Well as most of you know I did't have a date coded L78 motor in my 68 L78 nova. When I restored the car I just put together a 68 396 until I found the correct date coded parts.
That was in 2004 and it took me three years to come up with all the part's. It is still standard bore with all the correct internal's. ( Except the cam it is not a stock grind) I have spent the past month or so doing the engine swap. I fired it up today and does she sound mean! I am looking forward to the spring to take it for a ride. Just a couple more things to take car of then I am back onto the 67 chevelle. The motor that was in the nova is going into the chevelle.
