Re: Have been offered an original 69 L78 motor....
O.k. so here are some more of the details.....
Non original stuff:
- Cam
- Water pump
- Fan
- Carb
- Distributor
- manifolds
- Carb (does have a 3310 780 on it though)
- oil pan
Other notables:
- 163 intake has had plenum divider cut down. Date code is not verified.
- Heads are unported and stock.
Do you think this is a worthwhile trade for my 600hp 454?
His L78 has roughly 5k miles and does not burn any oil, never raced etc...
What I would do to it is:
- Add manifolds
- Crane blueprint L78 cam
- Use my valve covers, deep groove L78 pulleys.
thoughts / comments welcome...
