[68l30]

Never doubted they made it ,but very little is published about it in factory lit.I have looked through the Finger Tip facts all revisions,ExSellerate in 1968,68 Product Info Digest,68 Chev Price and Facts Book,The 68 "Hitchables",Chevrolet Q&A,68 Car Selector,and the 68 Chev all modle brochure.It ( L-79 Nova) is only listed in the 1968 Chev Price and Facts book.It was a $198.05 in Nov.1967.This was in Chevrolets 1st printing.They always mention the L-30 & L-48 but not L-78.In the Chevelle line the L-79 is mentioned in most.Availible with a HD 3 speed or 4 speed only,in bold N/A with SS(396 only).I would like to believe it was a very early option only.Why would you want a 327 to upscale your SS perf option?Remember the SS350 was new to the Nova line in 68,promote your 350 or 396 and dump the L-79.Bad decision but the only way to promote your SS Nova at the top.Again in the Chevelle no 350.Why not use the L-79 as your top small block,no toes to step on.Could the L-79 have preceeded the L-48 in the Nova line,till a transistion was made?Just some thoughts [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ,I'm not to familiar with the Nova facts,only what I have in front of me.......
