Yenko 427 Nova vs. Yenko Deuce...

[WILMASBOYL78]

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Chick_Maggot</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I think the Deuces were COPO cars with an LT1 installed on the assembly line, while the 427 cars actually left the factory with a 396 (for liability reasons) and had the L72 transplanted into them when they reached the Yenko shop. Thought I read that some years ago. </div></div>

You are correct...the 1970 COPO Deuce came from Chevy with the LT-1 and other COPO specific options. The 1969 427 cars were factory L78's converted by Yenko at his shop.

I agree with Sammy, there is very little difference power to weight between the Camaro and Nova. I have always thought the Nova had an advantage for weight transfer since there was a little more weight on the rear on the car. Either way a light car with that much horsepower is a handful.
