68-70 Nova Supercars
What dealerships or 3rd party tuners were doing conversions to 427 or 454 power in this timeframe?
I've started a list, but feel free to add to it and post pics. Yenko Motion Performance Nickey Dick Harrell Dale Anderson Cordia Bill Thomas (1 confirmed) Were there any Dana or Berger 427/454 converted cars in this timeframe? Also, I know Nickey built 454 cars until 73 and Motion until 72. Were others? Last edited by 69hurstSC; 03-29-2018 at 03:44 PM.

I seem to remember a low mile 73 or so nova here on this site that was a not so well known dealer conversion to a 454..L-88 maybe? I seem to remember a Tony owning it or recently buying it? Anyone?

Novas...
Of course, Fred Gibb was a conduit to the Harrell shop for some of the conversions...not sure if the dealership did other upgrades. But they were certainly part of the process.
Courtesy Chevrolet was also a player back then....and of course there many dealers who were part of the Yenko, Gibb and Motion networks. Byrne Bros Chevy in White Plains, NY was well known for hi-perf cars and parts. -wilma
