Very nice L78 !!
Is that the Assembly line Transmission? I have never seen a gang stamp spread out and un even like that before on a Kansas Leeds car for a 1970 Chevelle. They are usually a straight gang stamp that matches the blocks numbered fonts. Showing is an example photographed on the last Kansas Leeds Trans I inspected that matched the stamp on the block. (Last 3 numbers scribbled for customers privacy).

No,they cancelled the L-78 early on as Chevrolet didn't want two solid lifter engines in their line up,as well as they wanted to hype the new 454's.
But there was a very slight overlap between the two.

I think I’ve even seen documented where someone ordered an L78 and they were sent an LS6 instead...nice upgrade
 Oh, and there was one we knew of that that happened and it was so early in the changeover process that it came with an LS6 (or LS5 if the hydraulic lower hp option was ordered, but I think it was the L78 ordered) but had 396 emblems : ) How cools is that!? And yes, there were docs showing where the dealer swapped out the emblems to 454 to actually fix the mistake.

Maybe old news to you 'Velle guys but I'd love to hear more about these circumstances, especially of factory 454 cars shipped w/ 396 emblems.  ~ Pete .
