Steve, figure that most people didn't know that you could order the L78 with an automatic in 69 so the engine could have been assembled way before it was ever ordered for a car. It also could have been a motor that was built and failed inspection due to some component being bad so it sat around before being fixed and placed back in the "rotation".

I could use one of those CX M40s. Hope I get as lucky as you.

Andy,

I ran across another one last year by accident. The seller
started with a $1,000.00 price, then up to $2,000.00, then
all the way up to $4,000.00 ! I bugged-out somewhere along
the way. Too much for a transmission.

Steve

Did you happen to get the converter?

[/ QUOTE ]

No 6-point converter! The seller told me he used it for
another project along the way.

I have been told that they are still available from GM. Anybody know for sure?

And, while we are on the converter subject, other than the
six mounting points ( bolts ), is there anything special
about that converter?

Steve
