the trim tag wont denote a BB engine, only a V8, trim tag also will not denote SS either, paperwork would be key, but it is rare on the Novas, as most were ripped apart and raced early on, especially the BB cars.

Your Best bet is a Fisher Body buildsheet with the engine code and body number on it. Could have been in one or more of the seat springs. The right sheet may not have made it into the car. I am sure it probably been looked for already. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Gregg;
To my knowledge, the '70+ broadcast sheets don't show the L78 or L34 engine designations - I think it stopped in '69 but not sure.

Interesting, I did not know that. I only have a tiny sample size. I have seen one L48 on a fully loaded 70.
