Re: 70 Nova vin/66 Corvette barn find

That Vette is the perfect candidate for MCACN Barn Finds!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/Can-I-Have-It.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

I would have the hood held up on four posts above the engine compartment and the motor on an engine stand next to the car!!!

I don't think that engine goes with that car if I understand correctly. It sounds like it is a '70 L78 engine. Car doesn't have to have an engine for display. Very cool as is.

Re: 70 Nova vin/66 Corvette barn find

That block in the pic, if my eye's are still good, says it is a 3904351. That is a 1967 427 engine.

The original motor is in the picture. The heads are there too. Another motor, the L78 Nova motor also came in the deal. He had the Nova motor in the car at one time. The Corvette exhaust manifolds are on it. I've sent Bruce all the pics I took that day. He's welcome to post what ever he wants from them.

I pushed hard for MCACN barn find, but the new owner probably isn't going to do that. I did truly try.

As bad as that trailer looked, I think it actually helped keep the car in pretty good shape. It sat on wood with air circulating under it. The frame has no rust issues at all.

Re: 70 Nova vin/66 Corvette barn find

A little off topic, But a bit ironic. Back in about 1981, I bought an L78 complete that a guy had in his Vette, The engine was a CE 70. Guy said he did not like Big Blocks and was putting a 350 in the car. He sold it to me for $35 FWIW.
