You can only run the 350 in 78/79 elco or wagon, it was not available in a coupe or sedan body. Most guys run them as 80 or 81 to not carry the extra hp/weight of the 79. 78 would be ok as well but I think finding the newer style taillights is probably easier. The 78 taillight is slanted from the side, the others are not so they will all fit. The nose on the 78/79 are the same but the grill is different, 80/81 nose is different than 78/79 and each year has a different grill for them as well. As to which is best, I think the 79 is prettier but it would depend on how thick your wallet is.
