Re: 69 Nova L78 TH400
Thanks! I kinda was wondering (as I typed that) about the L35 Nova cause I didn't recall seeing one.
For being almost identical platforms, there sure are a lot of difference between Nova and Camaro options! $220 for hyd lifter TH400, $290 for solid lifter TH400. Of course, those are Camaro prices.

Re: 69 Nova L78 TH400
Any ideas on the logic of Chevrolet's not offering the 396/325 in the Nova but in nearly every other Chevrolet in the '69 model year?

Re: 69 Nova L78 TH400
The 396/325 hp was not avaiable in 1968 either. If you look at factory brochures form the day the 396 engine is not even listed as an option. I have a feeling the BB was kinda of low key "in the know" type option that was only available in the 2 versions. Just a guess but it makes sense to me.

Re: 69 Nova L78 TH400
I was gonna mention that ad and didn't. It is strange the dealership brochures left out the BB motor but performance magazines talked them up. I just pulled out the 68-70 brochures and checked them, no mention of the "rat". Hard to figure???
 wilma But who needs a brochure? I just go out to the garage...
