1967 Chevelle SS 396 375HP?

[67L78conv]

The L78 was removed as an option for the Chevelle in 1967 and then reintroduced later in the year after it became available. In the Camaro it was announced as available on March 17th, 1967, The Chevelle I am not sure of the date on but I understand from other researchers that they feel it was introduced in either April or early May of 67.

------I have a friend on Cape Cod that is the original owner of his all-black 67 375hp Chevelle. He drag raced it extensively, sold it and many years later tripped over it at Carlisle and bought it back as basicly a basket case. Last I heard he is still putting it back together........Bill S

Is there a way to determine which engine came in a 1967 Chevelle that no longer has the original engine or paperwork? Is there any parts or any other options required to be a 375 HP car? Is there anyone I can contact that is an expert on this subject? I really need to find this information fast. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I would contact either Jeff Helms or Dale Mcintosh...They have studied 67 Chevelle FACTS extensively and are guys that I consider 67 Chevelle authorities

Thank you. Can you PM me their contact information or give me their usernames. I really appreciate the response.

I'm not sure of Jeffs user name. (I think he goes by JeffChevelles) You can probably search the site for his name

Google Dale Mcintosh...He as a website and Chevelle Fact CDs the he sells

It has a L78 and a L79 registry link on it.

Does your car have the original rear end? If so,what is the code? In my own experience the majority of these cars came with 3:73-4:56 posi,4:10 being the most popular. If your car has a 3:08,3:31 or a open,I think you have less than a 10% chance.

The car has KK code 4:10 posi. Will the fuel line tell me anything? What date code and plant would narrow the possibility down. Is it since the L78 option was dropped from the line-up would 67 L78s be an early build? Like an 11E build date and Baltimore plant?
Thanks for all the responses.

I can't speak for a 67's but if it were a 69 L78 car, one of the "clues" would be a single fuel line.
