Default need to see a original 1978 corvette L48

I am looking at re-assembly of my L48 engine (1978 corvette) with all the accessories shielding etc as factory. I still have the parts but its been 3-4 years since it was pulled. I would like to see a still original factory 1978 corvette in person. The main area is the exhaust manifolds and shielding. Factory A/C car preferred.

Anyone in the Edmonton Alberta Canada with a car they are willing to allow me to have a look ? PM me.

Buy an Assembly Instruction Manual ( AIM ). It has the exploded diagrams of engine with options . It will be invaluable in the future.

From Google > Images I agree with Righthand's advice concerning the AIM.

If it shows all the factory shields installed on both sides would be great.

A few years back I completed an engine compartment restoration and documented the re-assembly on the forum with lots of detailed pictures. Check out this link and see if it helps!
