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

I know this might sound stupid but isnt JH a camaro code? If i was doing an L78 conversion on my car I would want the correct JD code. Just a thought.

I would opt for the devil you know. Also do you currently have hydraulic lifters? You'll need to adjust those solids once in a while..

You are probably right. No, my current stick is solid and «i adjust it once a year, no biggie.

Thanks All.

Happy Canada day weekend to the canucks

You don't have to adjust mechanical lifters all the time if you have a good set of polylocks. If you don't and have tapered nuts, then you usually have to adjust them regularly

Sounds like that swap might help both of you out to accomplish your goals with minimal added cost. It would be cool to have a correct L78 motor in the car and make it more driveable for you. The missing correct L78 parts might be the main thing to determining value even if you have no plans of selling it.

Thanks again all.
