What does the L78 mean? It was the most potent 396, rated at 375 hp but the actual dyno tested hp was 425! It featured higher compression, bigger valves, solid lifter cam, square port heads, aluminum intake and a big Holley carb. These were running son of a guns. Today they are very desirable and collectable investment cars. The 1970 Camaro was the lowest production L78 of all. These cars were not even marketed.
