			L78 is the best choice. Of course I’m a little bias on the subject, LOL. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			The last I spoke to Phil @ rare4k he only has 27 or so known born with engine cars in his registry. People ask me how I deal with those aggravating solid lifters and who adjust them for me, I tell them I do and they won’t leave me alone asking me to work on their car! Solids are not bad if you don’t beat your car hard which I don’t. I adjust mine cold per instruction from Sherman Gerlach. Use good poly locks and drive on. Best regards,

			Born with drivetrain is a big deal to me so I'd go with the L78 too.

			I'm all for the Z, easy maintenance, better on fuel, better handling. Street car, not a drag car! Swap in the Porsche and get both, easier that way!
