W72-L78 RPO Question
« on: September 12, 2008, 02:59:53 AM »
Is this info. located on the engine itself, or if it does not say W72 on the cowl tag we assume it is L78?

This is pertaining to a 1977 Trans am

W72 is located on the build sheet, not the trim tag.   What is the engine code (stamped on teh block just below the passenger side head)?  Y6/WA/YG/XA ?  Those are 1977 400 engine block codes   XA was the 180 hp 7.6:1.  The others are 200 hp 8.0:1
