If anyone should know, it's you DW, that as powerful a beast a l78 is it would take 4 belts to hold it down!

Engine was pulled out of an old drag car (bucket drag car).  Working on locating the car; engine was purchased in 79-80 and had been in the Louisville area all that time.  Car may still be around.  Says he plans to run the possible vin on Monday and will let me know.  $1500 is the price.

Pretty fair price IMO.
