Hi Bruce, here's a few pics of my 69 L-78 Nova project car.

I said I would show the progess of it. I'll do a complete write up on it later on. The car will be at the Nova Nats in July, in Maryland. This will be the first show the car will be at. I have the original build sheet on the car.

Thanks benny

The rest of you get a 'sneak peak' at some of Benny's handiwork! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

That cover you see on the fender is really an electric blanket that he uses to keep that baby warm. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif It's cold up there at Benny's Mt Top Resort....maybe you should rejet the carb for the altitude! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif Good Luck with the project buddy. I know it will come out great!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

That engine was built the same day as mine! My P-O-P says T0417JH and the car would have engine serial 19N634182. I have been looking for my block for some time. Original owner said he dropped a valve and damaged a cylinder but did not remember what happened to the block.

What did you do to that driveshaft?
It looks like it was set up in a lathe, spun and polished?

Re: Some L78 progress pics from bbbenny!
 

your correct, it was put on a lathe and turned and polished. the guy does nice work, if any one wants his address for work. benny
