The 396ci L78 V8 was rebuilt in 2019 following a long period of inactively with forged pistons and a solid-lifter Comp camshaft as well as new rod and cam bearings.

Replacement gaskets, valve springs, and timing components were also fitted.

The engine block indicates a 375-horsepower version built on May 6 as well as a serial number matching that listed on the Protect-O-Plate and build sheet.

Power is routed through a Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission and a 4.10:1 Positraction rear end.

The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer, a fuel gauge with warning lights, and a five-digit odometer showing 5k miles.
