I am not questioning anyone's expertise, just trying to learn. |
There were a lot of variations in the 67-68 time frame for the L79...even though the Chevelle and Nova were rated 325hp in 1968....the Corvette was rated 350hp with the same setup.
Anyway...the L79 Nova for 1967 was a last minute engine option...all these cars were made very late in the model year. I have seen 2 real cars in my Nova Travels...rare piece indeed.
