I know where a 2 owner numbers matching survivor 67 L-78 Camaro has sit for years, now I don't know where any 1967 Z/28s sit, but if I did that would be my choice...............

I like the BBC Chevy myself, but you can have a lot of fun with 67-68 302 Camaro with a 5.38 gear and a clutchless 4 speed as well. |

The cars have such different road manners. I would pull towards the L78 because of the drivability due to torque. A Z28 without its unique engine is not something that I look to own. Both great cars

Similar Car to Similar car and the Zed without its original engine. I’d be running towards the L78.

I voted for the L78. But I guess it would also need to be a discussion on price? Original survivor L78 could be a lot more then an original but not numbers # Z28?
So would the Z be around 50K and the L78 100K, that too comes into the thought process? And as Mark pointed out, one could play more with the Z because of that non numbers car to begin with. BUT it's still a '67 Z28.

Oh man, I bet you're right!! That sounds like a great time. I enjoyed watching your videos on 781/049 cylinder heads, looks like you got that figured out!

I have an original L78 Nova and the engine was rebuilt to dead stock specs except for roller tip rockers/headers/crane ignition. IMO, winding an 11:1 L78 to 6500 on 100+ octane race fuel is an absolute hoot. I have a NOS 70 854 CE block ready to go if it grenades, no regrets if it does...
