They can talk some sheot can't they. Experts on every subject. I had a Jersey transplant give me some valuable information about 77 1/2 vans. Seems GM in 77 1/2 put 400 horse L82s in all the 350CI vans because they ran out of the regular van 350s. And after 240,000 miles, this guy's L82 still cranked 300LBS of compression when he sold the motor after he wrecked the van.
He made it clear though that to get one of these special motors, it had to be 77 1/2, it had to be a van made after July!
What is truley funny, besides the fact there wasn't a 400hp anything in 77, and I doubt any L82s made in into any vans, and besides the fact a L82 is a boat anchor anyway. The best part is in those days, any GM built after July of any year, is the next model year as GM retooled the first couple weeks of July, and built next model year, 78s in this case, the second week of july on.
So everyone keep an eye out for the 400 horse, L82 vans with 300lbs cranking compression. They are sure to be a keeper.
