Re: yenko 69 Nova Big Blocks
Tom, what I'm referring to as an "ordered car" is for example a BM Phase III. A customer would order the car with those options. It didn't matter if Joel ordered a factory L72 COPO or an SS396 car. The later 67 and 68 cars were usually ordered with the L78 so the L72 swap would be straight forward. Yenko would order the L78 with the intentions of putting the L72 in because a customer called and ordered one, correct? That's what I see as a true SuperCar. Then the COPO came along and made it easier. The early 67 cars were SS350's that were ordered and had the L72 transplanted into because the 396 was not available yet. I think the same comparison would work for Mr. Norm's Dodge's and the Royal Pontiac's. A car sold at Mr. Norm's that had an engine swap or super tune done a year or 2 after the purchase isn't the same as a car that was done when it was ordered or came in. I wish we could get some more input to see what other people think.
