Can anyone point me to a link defining the "L" numbers for the engines. I don't understand the designations. For example, the L-48 question below and the L-82 that may or maynot be in my '81?
 
I'd interested in that one too. The example I can think of is the L-89 and L88.

The L-89 was 427/435, aluminum heads and tri-power. Pretty badazz on the street

The L-88 was 427/430 and WAS badazz-- everywhere.

L-71 was 427/435 too, iron heads

L-36 was 427/400 less cam and compression

Probably a bunch of engineers setting around drinking coffee decided how that numbering thing should work. Or the group that came up with the combination went and asked the boss who tossed a dart at a board.
