Okay, my buddy bought a 1970 Nova, that's right, it's blue and in great condition. It originally came with a 427, but has a small block in it. He just happens to have a 1970 427 block and some brodix heads for it, just laying around. He picked up a single plane intake this weekend and is starting the project!!

Ummm, I don't think the nova came from GM with a 427?? I think the birrest was a 396... Yanko and others but 427's in them....

in my book that means that its worth a Chit Pot more than a regular nova. if it truely is & he has documentation. not something I would make into a race car, there are enough crappy nova's out there to cut up & make a race car, not a COPO car.

Yeah! If it's the real deal I'd jump on it! Even without the original engine. Does he have documentation?

He must have some kind of documentation or he would know what he says it is I guess

Dont get me wrong Dogg, but I have a buddy that would buy a row boat if I told it was the titanic, some folks have more dollars than sense. If its a documented car, GREAT score, if its not................ there is a sucker born...................

Hey dog, if that car has documintation it's worth big buck's. They never made a factory one with a 427 the 396 was it , my 69 yenko had a 427 bench seat 4spd. and that was done by yenko. Make sure the #'s match.
