Could you get an L79 with air conditioning ? This would be a cool combo, if it was legit ...... L79 Elky
I am pretty sure you could, Chevy did not like putting A/C on solid lifter motors, and the L79 has a hydrolic cam a guy at the Pure Stocks had an El Camino running 13.70 (I think) with a L79 4sp combo
I think you could. In fact, I know you could in the 'Vettes, as you could a/c on ANY of the high hp solid lifter SBCs (our 365hp '64 'Vert had a/c), and crossing model lines shouldn't have posed a problem. Now, high hp BBCs (read: solid lifter) you could NOT get a/c... Here, one of our board member's has an L79 Chevelle, and there was a pretty good thread about all of this... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/sho...r=83633&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1
I thought it had a solid cam, hence my guess. Guess I was wrong. On the other hand, that car in the link was one of the cars I've always have wanted to see. Me not being a Chevy guy, there's not much else from the Bowtie Brigade that I'd rather have.
69 300 Deluxe.....coming very soon Well, Friday night we put the doghouse on my friend Brian's fresh frame-off restored 69 300 Deluxe with 300H.P. 350. Cortez Silver/black bench interior,rubber floor. TH350 3.90 12bolt Will be in Stanton in September:TU: Musclecar Enthusiast needs to have the photo shoot camera ready for this one:Smarty: I doubt very many people have ever seen a 300 Deluxe, and 90% of the people who actually have seen one probably did'nt realize what they were looking atuzzled: Canadian??
I have often wondered if GM was tossing an insult to Chrysler by naming their bottom of the line Chevy(the stripper 300) after Chryslers top of the line model the 300 series letter carso No:
just wait Just wait till this sucker roll's out in September, it's a knock-out! I'll try to post some pics here in a day or two.:bglasses:
uh huh, uh huh, I like it .......... Waaaaayyy back there was a Red, 300 Deluxe, SS396 hardtop that cruised the streets and drive-ins in South Bend. I just loved the "cheap look" of those cars. Dog dishes for all my friends.:TU:
