There are engine pics, scroll down to the main portion of the ad, and under the picture on the left you'll see a button labelled "View All Images".
Click that, and another page opens up with more pictures.

My memory is shockingly bad. I remember what happened exactly, I just can't remember if the whole axle was replaced or just the axle. As for the vin and trim tag, I haven't but I should.

Actually, I just remembered. The axle's been replaced. The car had the brakes catch fire in 2014 and it destroyed the axle. At least from memory that's what happened.

Never looked. Previous owner told me it has 3.73s though.

It's been quite a while since I updated this.

Since I last posted, it's gotten a Holley 650 Double Pumper, new HiJackers in the rear, the rabbit stickers in the windows, and I've felt it launch in first for the first time. It's. An. Animal!
I ordered the NCRS report, it was ordered by Fairchild Chevrolet in Lakewood, Ohio. Seems to be a dead end, as the first location is gone, and the second one is still a Chevy dealer, but no longer Fairchild.

Right now, the car's down with a brake pulling issue, and needs a shifter cable. It's going into the shop later this week.

General Discussion / Looking for info.

« on: July 31, 2016, 04:43:50 AM »

I saw another thread about the same thing and it seemed okay so I thought I'd give it a shot. Looking for info on my Grandfather's '68. 8N399642. I've been told by a previous owner (not the orig.) it was an L78 car. The 396 and Muncie (No idea if it was an M21 or M22) are long gone (same owner put a 454 and TH400 in it) and I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about it. Don't know the name, but he said he got it from his father's cousin in Vinton, Ohio.

Thanks,

Joe.

Hang on, the ad says LS motor, then also says numbers matching. What? Que? I don't think they had T10s either, did they?

It's been edited. Still spelled Hurst wrong, but now I can at least get the gist of it.

Kurt, would you like me to PM you the VIN? I'm a little reserved about giving it out though.

No, those were long gone. He bought it in '03. The owner in the 80s raced it. Motor is 10.25:1 compression, dome forged pistons, Comp Cams Magnum Hydraulic Flat tappet (.575 lift, .305 duration). Edelbrock C427X intake, Accel distributor with MSD cap and wires. Holley 750 vac secondary. Headers leading to Flowmasters. 3.73 gear. I'd love to know more, but the POP is also long gone.

Hey everyone! My name is Joe, and my grandfather has a '68 SS. It's believed to be a real L78 car. Originally packing a 396 and a 4 speed (clutch pedal's still in it) it now has a 454 and TH400.
