Default Re: 71 COPO Nova LS6

Another issue that I see - didnt Chevy have a different heater box that they would use on big block cars that moved the AC components to the other side to allow clearance on the big block cars? This car the passengers side valve cover looks like it would hit given a hard launch.

The exhaust manifolds are not even drilled - at least he could have put on smog manifolds with plugs in them.

The VIN stamping on the front pad looks like it was done the day of the photos - shouldnt it be down by the oil filter anyway?

I located a picture of a 1970 396 Chevelle showing the AC components located on the other side of the heater box - I also am attaching a picture of this supposed LS6 Nova showing the AC & heater box most definately from a small block car.

If you look closely at the drivers side radiator support you can see the large round hole which would indicate an a/c vehicle.

Talwell...A big block Camaro and I assume Nova would have the aluminum tube pointing toward the engine, not away like on the Chevelle.

Thanks for the clarification - I really hope that someone did not buy this car thinking they had found the holy grail.
