Please note

Listing in classifieds is for Paid Members. If you can't see the link to click to post an ad it is probably because you are not a paid member. There are no commercial ads allowed except by site sponsors. All for sale or trade ads need to have a price. No listing for offers only, but you can list something with a price. Ebay is allowed as long as there is a "buy it now". Potential buyers can inquire about the item being sold. If the sellers description has an error or not accurate you should PM the seller and or notify a moderator. No negative comments in the classified sections. We all have opinions, but we don’t need to bash people for placing an ad that doesn't agree with our idea of value etc. Members should be able to place an ad without worrying about being bashed. Members listing items or vehicles are expected to stand behind their sale or risk losing classified privileges and possible access to the forums. We want this site to be a place to be able to trust the person we are buying from. The seller & buyer are solely responsible for the terms and conditions of the transaction.

Re: '70 Nova L78 (nicely documented)

RPO-L78 Novas in 1970.....total produced 3765. The L78 top end was basically identical to the LS6 454 motors. Heads were the newer 291's with larger valves..2.19 int...1.88 exh. They both shared the same cam, carb, TCS and low profile intake. The other major difference from 69 was the actual CID of the motor...though labeled a 396, they were actually 402's. Lots of theories on why...I will let others debate that. Some guys I know claim the low profile intake hurt performance and many switched back to the 163 or aftermarket in the day. By the way...I know that 69 green car quite well and one of it's prior owners... almost bought it..sorry I didn't...nice car..good luck!
