Re: Question on L78 motor
The HD Muncie 3 speed was standard for the 66-69 SS396 chevelle. We had a 66 SS396 325 hp bench seat car with the 3 speed. We had two 69 SS396 chevelles with the 3 speed. The one was a 375 hp, chambered exhaust and 4.10 posi rear. I asked the owner when the car was new about the 3 speed in a 396/375 car and he told me that it was all he could afford at the time and he would switch it out for a 4 speed when he could swing it. The second car had buckets, console, 325 hp motor, D-96 stripe and a posi rear.
The HD Muncie full syncro 3 speed tranny would live pretty well with big block power up front.
