Re: L78 396/402
Not kidding at all. Thinking in terms of street rods, I like to see the engine matching the line that it is going into. Check out what can be done to one of these big Cad engines. I'd put the L78 in a Chevy, where it belongs.

Re: L78 396/402
No apology needed. The beauty of building a street rod is that you can do what ever you want. I've had a couple of L78 cars and that engine is fine. I just think that the big Cad engine would really be neat. For a street car, there is nothing like a big inch, big torque engine. We have a '72 4 speed Lemans Sport with an over bored 455 with a mild cam and headers. It will actually run circles around our L78 Chevelle and has mild manners to boot.
