I have a 78 Skylark S that I use as a daily driver here in Texas for the last 2.5 years. I have had no problems with it at all. My 78 has a 3.8

 

whats the 3.8? ive never heard of this engine befor

 

3.8L is the 231 V6

Here is a pic of my 78 skylark S

 

thats a nice looking hood in the backround there

 

It was from my 72 GS It was a fiberglass hood I bought from VFN fiberglass. I sold it to a lady in Dallas.

One thing you should know about them is that they get good gas mileage. My '76 century has the 231 V6 oddfire and from experience, it is decent on gas for carrying the heavy body. In a skylark, the 231 should pull really strong and still get good gas mileage. In town I get about 16 miles to the gallon if I don't stomp the accelerator, and about 22 on the highway. And the 2 barell carb. is bad, so it does acceptionally well for the bad carb. and never being rebuilt. :TU:

 

thanks for the replys. i wish more people would reply i was just really wondering about the 350 i dont know anything about it
