The 375hp and 350hp big block engines were only available with the Super Sport package. The base engine for the SS option was the 295hp small block 350. You could get the 327/325hp small block in non SS cars. Hope this helps..wilma

Thanks for the info. Can you tell me why this Yenko Nova does not have the ss trim on it if all the cars where 375hp cars?

I didn't reread the other links, but this car was restored as a non-SS because the resto shop (20+ years ago) found the broadcast sheet in the seats and it had the L78 code in the COPO box. So, they felt that it was a COPO order for a non-SS L78 Nova. Their conclusion was laughably silly, since the entire first row of the broadcast sheet was printed on the second row - the sheet was not properly aligned when it was printed, duh!

The current owner has corrected that error and has installed the SS items.
