L78 Dyno
I finished assembling my NOS L78 shortblock today. Put a pair of 69 840 heads on it and a 163 intake. The cam is original specs and solid. 3/8 pushrods and Crane race rockers. So other than the rockers the engine is exactly as an original would be. Standard everything. Also installed hardened valve seats and manley stainless valves. Comp cams springs. Should be dynode within a week. It will be interesting to see what kind of numbers the dyno sessions show.
