Re: Another 68 L79 Nova.?
Bruce I think you could anything you wanted except an automatic with a L-79. I seen a 68 L-79 chevelle with AC 3 speed on the floor it had the POP to prove it.

Re: Another 68 L79 Nova.?
These little cars were true sleepers...they were plenty fast stock...but, you add a factory aluminum hi-rise, Holley, solid cam, some gears and tracton bars...and watch out. I think they are one of the neatest cars out there...lot's of BB guys got shut down by that little motor

Re: Another 68 L79 Nova.?
I owned a one-owner, numbers-matching, documented example a few years ago. They are really neat cars and are such sleepers that it helped contribute to their extremely low survival numbers. To many people they are just 327 Novas. Mine was a red, black bucket seat, 4-speed, 3.55 12-bolt, no A/C example. I would have loved to make it into a Pure Stock racer.
