I heard that firsthand as well, however I was told it was a shortblock and asked about the heads but no information( 840 wouldn't work). The other issue the original owner stated he went 11.68 when he owned it with the L72. I wasn't there but I do have questions for anyone including Hedrick, how he called it basically stock. Even the sound of an L88 vs L72 would tip off anyone even if you never lifted the hood. It is a single source and Grump or Stahl who worked on the car never made mention.
