Default 327/350horse
Think a 327/350horse out of a 67 Impala would be a good upgrade for my 78 vette? (will rebuild eng. before install) Frank.

Frank, the L79 wasn't available on the full size cars in 67. Only the Nova (DAMN rare - only 6 made) and Corvette had that as an option. What's the suffix code on the front pad?
