They used to break the front windshield at the top corner.. if it hooked hard it would twist the frame. The 375HP was known for it especially if it was drag raced a lot.

I would think subframe connectors would be a must on an L79 with good gears and good slicks.
And I'm assuming you mean the 350 HP 327.

Years ago a friend owned a 66 nova hardtop. It was a 327/three on the wheel. Not a high perf 327, but he put an aluminum intake on it with a holley carb and went drag racing. I never saw it race, but apparently it worked very well. Quite a few fellow racers talked him into putting a four speed in it. He told me years later that the car was faster with the three speed trans. He said he could run in second gear but with the four speed he finished in third gear. One more shift that the car really didnt need.
