Have been offered an original 69 L78 motor....

[Chris_69_SS]

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...
