Very nicely done car. I am curious about what the original engine was, because I have never seen L78 car equipped with 3.08 gears.Usually that gear set was in L35 or l34 equipped cars. Its possible, just very unusual...maybe the writer made a mistake.

Guys thanks for the compliments. As good as Geoff is at writing he did miss the L78 statement in the "At a glance" box at the end of the article. It should be stated it is the original L35 engine. Unlike the Gibb/Harrell Novas is that there were not any solid lifter 396 Camaros in 68 with the TH400, at least none have been found. So you are correct about the original 3.08 gearset not being behind an L78.

I saw the issue the other day. Nice photos and write-up.
