It would be interesting to hear why he ordered it the way he did. I can attest to how well a 68 L79 Nova 3 spd will run having had our butts handed to us one night when we thought the 383 64 Dodge we were in ran pretty well.
Jason, is the blk stamped CE, or does it have the correct stamp for the L79 replacement assy? </div></div>

I looked on the engine pad and didn't see CE just a bunch of numbers? What would the number be for a L79 replacement assembly? I will be talking to the original owner as soon as I get his phone number from a previous owner. If I was to register this car I would be the second registered owner. The original title is in the original owners name.
The story is the original motor blew up on the way home from the dealer the day they bought it! The dealer replaced the short block assembly. It still has the double hump heads and correct intake so I never questioned the short block. I will get the numbers from the pad tonight and post them.
