Good morning...
Here is a quick update on our 68 L78 Nova SS. We moved the car to our home shop for easier viewing by interested buyers. I have been sorting and organizing NOS parts and other items for the car. Since the heart of this beast is the L78 engine, I took it to our machine shop for a checkup. It was rebuilt a number of years back and after a thorough inspection, cleaning and refresh of a few things we ran it on the dyno. So we now have a 'clean bill of health' for this rare and BORN WITH engine...I will post dyno video and paperwork as soon as I can figure that out ![]() Results were impressive; 424.8hp @ 5900rpm 429.5ft/tq @3600rpm Our guy is Jack Boyd, Boyd's Motorworks in Gloversville, NY...he did a shout out to Eric Jackson who did the 4053 Holley..."Tom, your carb guy is awesome!" More to follow...wilma ![]()
