Re: BB Nova Radiator, also need some other info
BB rad dimensions are 29 1/2" wide by 18 1/2" tall..rad support opening measures 23". As for your 72SS Nova if it came with the L48 350 4bbl then the carb would be a QJ part#'s 7042203 s/t 7042202 for a/t Intake is a cast iron #6263751..exhaust manifolds were the log style and came with and without smog holes. You can find all these numbers and more in Colvin's book Chevy by the Numbers. The flap, radiator, shroud and other related items are avaialble from National Nostalgic Nova 717-252-4192..they are in York,PA. They can also help you with other hardware and mounts you will need for the swap along with good info and help..Ask for Wayne Bushey. Don't know if small block rad will handle BB cooling. BB was never available in the 72 but you can give it a "factory stock" look with the right parts. Good luck.
