first post, question about 68 Berger nova
 

these 68 berger nova's, were they all 396's? and were they the 350 or the 375 horse models. i cannot find any information on how to see if the car is legit. even if the protectoplate goes back to berger, is there anyway to know that it wasn't just a regular nova sold through that dealership? here's a picture.dealer states it's a 454 (weird that it has a 396 air cleaner huh?)<BR>

That car is from NICAB correct? Originally was a 350 car, shows 396 insignias on the fenders, now has a 454 according to their video on the car.

Also has the small block heater core!

That does it! I'm putting my M/T valve covers and Edelbrock C-396 intake on my 396 when I rebuild it.

basically i just want to verify that it is what it is. I want to know if berger ever put in 454's or if it should truly be a 396. also if there are statistics on how many were made and how i can verify that this car is what it is, instead of just trusting what that dealer says and using the protectoplate and book.
For instance, i was looking at a 69 442 and i found a site (442.com) and it said exactly what a w-30 442 should have, aka body codes, etc... sorry i'm kinda wordy right now.

The POP will tell you what engine it was born with...if there is documents showing a transplant then it could be whatever engine they felt like swapping in whenever it was done.I think this may just be a 350 Nova sold at Berger and later on it had an engine and badge swap...what does your POP say ?

Whats This? This car again. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif How many times do we have to say it. That was a 350 car sold out of berger and the original owner himself put the 454 in it years later. The car had a protectoplate when it was sold for 8000.00 on ebay last year. The plate said it was a 350 car but i feel it has dissapeared now. Talk about someone trying to get rich https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif ALSO CHECK THE TRUNK FLOOR OUT!
