68 Nova 327 L-79 4 Speed 3:73 Posi

According to Colvin's book the 68 Chevy 2 and Chevelle with L79 327/325hp used a Rochester built QJ part #7028229.

I believe all the internal parts were the same as the old 66 L79....only difference was intake/carb.

These cars almost like a "early" version of the Deuce...hi horse small block and HD setup. They are definately cool...hope somebody brings one to the Nats this year...Jeff???

Grecian Green L-79 nova is still getting the body work done and wont be ready this summer. The L-79 can hang with those 70 LT-1's.

Jeff, I wish I had the extra monies to haul that beauty from Nashville down to Huntsville... I got a call yesterday asking if I was bidding. Timing is off just a little for me.... I started to ask you about selling last year when I saw it at your shop, guess I should have after all... Nice solid 68. I found a 3914678 engine last week in Paducah,KY in a stack of old engines but wasn't able to get the suffix code or date from it. Again... bad timing

Nice piece for someone no doubt..
Jeff, where does the 1274 production come from also can you tell us how many '68 L79's are in the registry now?.
And are there any known built and/or existing '68 Acadian L79's?.

There is 10 68 L-79s in the registry and I have to call from a guy today in CO that has one with docs. Not very many considering there was 1200 built. I think they are so unknown until recently that most people didnt know what they had except it was fast!

A 68 L-79 Acadian/Nova now that would be cool!
