Claimed #s '67 Chevelle L78

[67since67]

The specific to L35 only (396/325) radiator gives hint to the car's origins, but credit Jeff Helms usual logic as to why an oval port, 2 bolt engine would be re-stamped "EG".

Al Colvin's CHEVROLET BY THE NUMBERS incorrectly lists The L34 (396/350 EF engine code) as "EG", which in reality is the code for L78 (396/375). Meaning that whom ever was attempting to upgrade this car to L34 status (appears to have an Edelbrock carb with square bore intake as opposed to Q-Jet) relied on incorrect info, and now it is being passed off as the Holy Grail L78.

The block pad stood out immediately, but I wanted to see what others said. The deck appears to be at, or lower, than the water pump gasket, which would indicate it having been machined, "to remove rust and defects".. right ???


Any buyer should see this disclaimer as a huge red flag, but it is way at the bottom of the, very lengthy, description.

I asked the seller for pics of the oil line holes to verify what I already knew (I saw pics of this car several years ago, unless there is another white one with an L34 stamped EG). See below. 2 bolt main. So definitely not an L78 block.
