Re: L-78 396 cylinder head question
Bob,
Is this a true L/78 car? You didn't mention that.
If it is a true L/78, then here's my .02 on the subject.
You should be looking for the '840 heads with a Nov. or
Dec. 1968 date range. Any '840 head set will be somewhat
pricy due to its application as SHP parts only.
It certainly doesn't hurt to have as many dated components
for your car as you can. Personally, I would much prefer to
buy a car ( true L/78 ) with properly dated heads vs. heads
with incorrect dates.
If you can afford the time, just keep scanning eBay for the
dated '840 heads you need. They come up all the time.
If this isn't a true L/78 car, it probably really doesn't
matter what date range you select for your components as
long as they are the correct components. That will make it
somewhat easier to sell the car as a clone ( of some type ).
BTW, what model are we talking about?
Steve
