Default Re: 1969 Nova Engine Code

I would also be interested to find anyone who can show proof of any factory built L-89 Novas. I have done a lot of research on the L-78's and have yet to find an L-89 that can be documented. I am not definitely saying there were none built, but like most of the rest on this board, the number 311 baffles my mind when a few have not surfaced? Another point I would like to make is the fact that Fred Gibb in 1968 had 50 of the COPO Novas built for the purpose of setting up an automatic class for NHRA dragstrips. What better way of weight reduction on these radio delete cars, and off the front end as well, would an L-89 set-up have? I know this is just a theory, but Fred would have been in a position to know of the available options? Another reason for my doubts of at least any number, remember the 50 car rule of NHRA. Check with them and see if they are allowed in stock class? Ray
