Default Re: 1970 L78 CKO Block from Van Nuys

I can tell you from experience that an L78 with a TH400 and the proper rear axle will give you quite a ride...no problem with torque [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

**remember the 1968 COPO Novas were built specifically to create this scenario...the trick was a HD TH400 with special internals and a high shift point. You need to take a ride in one of these rockets and feel the upshift at over 6,000 rpm's...it will adjust your neck [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
