Sorry, I thought they DID come with 427 from the factory? Something about 37 to Yenko and 50 to Gibbs or Dana or something like that??? I thought for some reason a couple of the early '69 Yenko Nova's were conversions as COPO was on board with the other 37???

I could be wrong? If I am, opps my bad.

Yenko built approx. 37 1969 427 Nova Super Sports.

The 50 are the ones Chevy built for Fred Gibbs (COPO 9738) - 1968 L78 Nova SS396 with the special HD TH400 - the first cars to have a TH400 behind a solid lifter Hi Performance BB engine. They also came standard with power drum brakes, HD radiator and a 4.10 posi 12 bolt rear.
