Re: L-78 Motor and auto trans
Nice... about the only way to get a bargain on ebay is to nail a BIN as soon as it come on.

Re: L-78 Motor and auto trans
I expect we could find something, somewhere.
One thing I thought that was interesting about this motor was that one head was an 840, and the other was a 292. The car is a late built 69, almost 70 and has a 163 intake. The owner said neither were replacement heads, and were within a month of each other on the cast dates. I believe on novas built around that time that very few things were set in stone. Between labor disputes, and the late introduction of the new camaro, that inconsistencies are not uncomon.JMHO.

Re: L-78 Motor and auto trans
The block is an 854 (402)which is actually a 70 P/N but was used very late in the 69 model year (most of 69 was a 272 p/n)That would explain the 291 and 840 head scenario
