Well, if you went into most dealers in 1969 they would also tell you it was not possible to order a 427 in a Camaro or Chevelle also. I guess they did not make any.

When I was shopping for my Chevelle, four of the six dealers I talked to told me there was no such thing as a 450 HP 454 in a Chevelle. That was in late April/early May of 1970!

(They also told me I couldn't get an LT-1 in a Nova!)
Like I said earlier in this thread, I have little knowledge of Novas, but I DO know this may well be another of those deals where you avoid those two dreaded words............. - ALWAYS and NEVER!
