The only documentation I have is a Fisher body card from under the seat. It has M-20 on it. I have a record of the last owners back to the 90's with all the names and numbers of the previous owners and the guy who took out the L-79 when the rod went thru the block.

That is such a shame for the block. That would be one to restore for sure! Wooo, 327 350hp with some 4spd action and 373's. Litem up!

Jed, those 1968 L79's were rated 325hp...they had a cast iron intake and QJ carb...the 1966 version had the aluminum hi-rise and small Holley. It was still a screamer....lots of guys put solid cams in them, added the hi-rise and Holley, headers, 4.10 gear and ate those 396 Chevelles for lunch....very cool cars...almost bought one a couple of years ago...Jeff has it now I believe...

GM did like to underrate the motors. But those were the changes from 67 to 68 as far as the L-79 was concerned?
They had the same compression ratio and the same .447 lift cam. The horsepower was printed at a different rpm range from 67 to 68. 5800rpm in 67 down to 5600rpm in 68. Looks like they started the insurance blindfold early? Those L79's must have screamed! Anyone have any 307's laying around? Gives me and idea....Thanks for the info Tom and I thought you were just a BB guy. I think that we need to start a Nova shoot out. What would Wayne say?
