I've got an early build 396 L78 motor still got all the nubmers on it. Seems it's from an early build car, but was wondering if anyone knew actually how many of these cars were build in 69.

Also, would like to find this car if possible that goes with this motor. thx

Welcome aboard Tony. For '69 Chevelles, about 9,000. Where was the car assembled and what day was the engine assembled?

Try posting the VIN over at www.chevelles.com. Be nice if someone had the car. Good luck.

The engine Has a "B" stamp for baltimore, and was built on August 21st of 68, with a low production number (306044). So it was probably one of the first L78's off the line for 69.

I've tried team chevelle, no help there. Of course this car probably met it's death in a crusher, but one can only hope.

Thx for the welcome guys.
