Re: Vintage pics, 1969 Yenko Nova
Hello Marlin,
The original 396/375 was stolen at White Chevrolet. Don
purchased the Car as a strip out and then installed the 427
creating his first 427 69 Nova. When I found the car in the fall of 1983
it was missing the motor. I purchased a 427
short block with 12.5 to 1.00 pistons, steel crank. I installed a set of 69
dated square ports, OE solid cam along
with a winters cast GM intake. I made several adjustments
to the suspension before all that power connected and launched properly.
I've owned several Big Block cars, from
Chevelles to Camaro's even Corvettes but nothing compares
to that Little old Green 69 Nova.
