Re: 68 Motion Preped Nova
It does appear to have the BB heater core. Hoses don't seem to go behind valve cover like a converted small block car or a Chevelle.

Re: 1970 L89 4-speed Nova????????

Re: 1970 L89 4-speed Nova????????
I think Budnate and a few others are on to something. There is a slight dropoff with the straight edge. I put my magnetic base dial indicator on it and it seems to be about .003 difference from the...

Re: 1970 L89 4-speed Nova????????
It had paint on the pad, scratches are from razor blade and it's shinny because I've wiped it 1000 times with different cleaners. There is a sleeve in #4 cyl. so it must have been lightly decked at...

Re: 1970 L89 4-speed Nova????????
Are the vin #'s on the engine/trans. stamped at the assembly plant or are they stamped at the engine plant and shipped that way for assembly? I can't understand why someone would restamp a block with...

Re: 1970 L89 4-speed Nova????????
The car came from the Chicago area about 2 yrs. ago. YES it's an original 4 bolt block, not a converted one. I will take pictures if it would help!!

Re: 1970 L89 4-speed Nova????????

Re: 1970 L89 4-speed Nova????????
Engine code, there is a sleeve in #4 cylinder, I would say it was lightly decked that's why the T is gone and the 4 is almost gone, nice broach marks!!
