The L78 engine from the factory came with a hot solid-lifter cam, 11.5:1 compression, big square-port heads with upsized 2.19 intake valves, and cast aluminum high-rise intake manifolds with a Holley cfm. The engine bay is highly detailed as is the chassis with the dual exhaust running out under the rear bumper thru chrome tips on each side, and the 4-speed manual transmission that runs to a 12-bolt rear end.
