I bought my Nova with the intention of the car being a Yenko SS 375/396 car. No more no less. It is in my own opinion a very nice car with rock solid Yenko ties. I am happy with that, I can tell you. Later I recieve a call from Tom Clary about a conversation he just had with Warren D. Tom asked him about the 427 Nova SC cars. Warren had told him that none of the Novas Tom was asking about were ever done in his presence. The only Nova SS he ever did a 427 conversion on was a special order car sold at Yenko. The car he was refering to was the one I had just bought. I did not even talk to Warren about this untill a few weeks later. I asked him and he told me that he indeed did do the 427 for my Nova. An aluminum head L/88 style engine. He told me about 1970 he was making the transition from Yenko Cheverolet to Saab. He was unhappy with the direction Yenko was going with the proposed Vega program. He was still involved with the Yenko racing program. Warren built and installed the 427 for his friend at his own shop were he was building hi-performance engines as well. The car was a Yenko Nova SS with a 427-L/88 installed by Yenko's top man in about 1970. He said the car was a lot of fun!. So what is the car today? I think it is just what it appears to be, A Nova SS with direct ties to Yenko and all the right people to do that type of work. Is it a Yenko/SC Nova, I don't think so. But it is another example of what was being done in Canonsburg during the late 60's early 70's. I like the car no matter what. It is the only example of this type of car I have ever seen. Living in the Canonsburg area I have never yet owned the textbook Yenko car. It has always had something different. You decide what it is. Tim I ask you this, why were you asking Warren about my Nova to begin with. The car is not yours. I talked to you at the reunion and told you the car was an SS 396. I had the file folder for the car from the begining. The guy I bought the car from had it for years. I did not ask Warren to lie about anything he did to the car. You come across like I am a big liar. You can bash my car all you want, but don't hint that I did something wrong ...BKH
