L78 Engine is back in!

[Seattle Sam]

I finally got my buddy to upload the dyno video from his camera - Here is the L78 just after cam break-in making a pull - 295 RWHP and 323 ft lbs out of a stock rebuild. This is through the stock exhaust and with the rev limiter set to 6 grand.

Nice. I should throw mine on the dyno to see where I ended up.

I kept saying to people my L78 car felt pretty darn close to my 2000 SS for overall power/speed. My L78 had an unknown cam/piston combo with 71 oval port heads, headers and Holley 750. My 2000 SS with the automatic put down 320 rwhp and I thought the L78 was really close in power, just the L78 felt like a beast compared to how smooth the LS1 is. Sounds good Sam! Get it fine tuned and it probably will be around 310-320 rwhp.

Hey man, that car looks sharp! Nice, seldom seen color, that beautiful RS split bumper front end, small spoiler (it appears), and a solid lifter L-78.....wrap it up, I'll take it!

I just realised that I never got to hear it run.
