Kinda of surprised the guy doesn’t want his born with motor?

That’s a fair price for the original owner!

Would sure bump up the value of his Nova!

Yeah, unfortunately he mini-tubbed the car a few years ago and went the resto-mod route with a 502, Tremec 5spd, and DSE suspension. He had no idea it was an L78 car until I sent the VIN to Wes and he tracked the car down.

Not sure how the engine ended up separated from the car, but it was installed in my '68 Chevelle sometime prior to 1974.
