You are correct the 68 version used a cast iron intake...interestingly enough it was still rated 350hp in the Corvette, but 325hp in the Nova and Chevelle.

The L79 is one of those engines that has an almost mythical quality...it was a real runner. As others have mentioned, many a big block Chevelle was surprised by this little power house
