I don't know if a dealer would convert a car with 6 cyl vin because they may have legal problems with the insurance companys. The customer may try to get a 6 cly insurance policy on a hot rod V8 car. Insurance was a big problem in late 69-70s for young drivers of big block muscle cars
[/ QUOTE ] I always assumed that dealers ordered the L78 SS Novas to convert to 427s because it would've been the cheapest and easiest way to do it. Order the L78 package and you get all the heavy duty hardware on the car factory installed.. Swap in a short block, and bam.. SuperCar. ya think?
