Hello Dave,

I think I remember this car being for sale back then. What month did you buy it?

Thanks,
Greg

The original engine block, heads, intake, water pump, and carb as well as the original tranny and rear came with the car.

Good detective work Ken!!

Re: One of ? L89 Nova for sale at Russo and Steele
 

I still don't understand why an open chamber (074) cylinder head is being used on this engine, when all the 1970 big block L78/L89 production engines would have used a closed chamber (842) head and piston combo to come up with the designed 11.25:1 compression ratio?????
What am I missing here??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Well, if Brian Henderson of the Supercar Workshop is vouching for this car and it's authenticity, then that's enough for me and a lot of other people. The auction house can and probably will use Brian's inspection and approval to help market the car to interested buyers that might just need that little extra piece of proof.
