Re: 1967 Chevelle SS 396 375HP?
[ QUOTE ]
The car has KK code 4:10 posi. Will the fuel line tell me anything? What date code and plant would narrow the possibility down. Is it since the L78 option was dropped from the line-up would 67 L78s be an early build? Like an 11E build date and Baltimore plant?
Thanks for all the responses.

L78 was cancelled in the Chevelle at the beginning of 67 production and re-released in April of 1967. The earliest cowl tag date I am aware of in a documented real car (without a fishy deck stamp or other red flags) is 04C.
No way to absolutely confirm the original HP in a 67 with it's engine gone and no docs. There are numerous tell-tale signs of an L78, but the problem is they can all be bolted on the car from another car (such as a hi-redline blinker tach, deep groove pulleys, a 67 Z28 fan blade and clutch, etc.). And some of the items were also available as options with a 350 HP 396 (such as a 4-row radiator with fan shroud).
