Weren't there only about 6 of the L79 cars built in '67? Or is that one of those rumors that's been floating around for years?

The engine assembly is from a 66. Car is a real 4 speed and built in June when they were released.

From my very limited Nova knowledge...

The 6 L79 Nova's built late in the '67 model year used a cast iron intake and Quadrajet carb, also script valve covers, unlike the engine in this Nova.

I agree
 

My knowledge is limited too. I did read that 6-L79 engines from 1966 were found in the assembly plant, complete with the same Winters intake and Holley this car has, and were installed into Chevy II’s in 1967? Dunno? It’s gonna be fun to drive…

Congratulations, That is AWESOME! It should have a ZA coded engine, but with it being a California A.I.R car, it would be another Z. code I presume. A friend of mine had a 1967 Nova Wagon with a factory 283 2BBL / Muncie 4 speed in the same colors back in 1977. Bill

Engine transplanted from 1966 L79 Nova. Very few muncie's installed in 67 Nova's. Most likely muncie is from the same 66 L79 Nova also

We own a 66 a L79 with K19. Are you willing to share the the engine stamping ?

Post the engine stamp if you will

Your help is priceless thank you!
 

Here is a photo of engine stamp and some additional ones..
Holley is 3807 list, 3418 carb with a Winters intake and lots of gas station and maintenance receipts.
I’m still unclear about the E2L code on the cowl tag though. What’s the “2” in there for??

i have personally seen a 327-275, 4 speed wagon, and get this it was at a pick a part yard in CA, probably in 1983??, all i had time for was the ac brackets, went back next day and the car was bare, and i mean bare shell
