Re: discarded L78s?
I heard a lot of the L78's that were removed were sold to the Navy to replace the 409 blocks that were used as anchors....could just be urban legend.

Re: discarded L78s?
Well the straight six they pulled the tags off had to be registered at one point and not reported stolen, for this bigblock 427 to get a good registration using the six's #'s

Re: discarded L78s?
The L-78's were mostly sold through the Baldwin Chevrolet parts department. There was a good article about this a few years back in one of the mags.

Re: discarded L78s?
I just can't see them using a 375hp motor? would not idle smooth and use too much gas. a low compression 360 hp would be a much better motor for them to use. JMO.... Who know's sounds like a good question for someone to find the answer to?
