L78 Camaro Debate
Have a debate going on: Have a 68 Camaro SS which originally came with L78 engine (have Canadian docs). Engine long gone, replaced with 1975 454 big block. Should this Camaro still be considered an L78 car? Not selling, just bench racing with another guy.

Re: L78 Camaro Debate
If you have the docs to prove your case then there should be no questioning the car being a real L78... Just put it this way: You have a car that was an original Yenko conversion car but the 427 is long gone and now it sports a 350 in it, I still say its a Yenko car.... Hope this helps...

Re: L78 Camaro Debate
With out a doubt still an L-78. These cars were built to race and few have their born with engines (many more are matching numbers
 ) LOL.

Re: L78 Camaro Debate
If its a potential yenko car, it will have more than the L78....such as the special trim tag, extra large sway bar and the 140 speedo.....if you have these with the L78, then you might have a non converted yenko car....other than that you have a nice L78 car which is also hard to come by!

Re: L78 Camaro Debate
Let's not confuse the original posting with another posting containing an example about a Yenko. He asked about an L78 car not a Yenko or non-converted Yenko.
Yes, an original L78 with docs is still an L78 Car. Rick H.
