1969 Nova Engine Code

[brownworm]

Thanks.

So the engine codes are not model specific. Therfore, it is possible to have a 69' Nova 396/375 A.H. with engine code Ke. As is the case for the 69' camaro w/ 396/375 A.H.

That is according to A. Colvin (Chevy by the numbers)

I quess I am a little confused with the engine codes. For example, (NOVA)- 396/375 (JH - SHP, 4-speed), (KC - 4 speed, SHP HD Clutch)

(Camaro)- 396/375 - (JJ 4-speed A.H. SHP) (KC- Manual, SHP, HD clutch) (KE - A.H., HD clutch)

You mentioned the Nova L89 with the code JJ. But this is listed as 69' Camaro.

Sorry to be a pain in the ....

Sorry 'bout that, I'm going from memory here and thought that the L89 code was 'JJ' - it might not be, but our belief is that an L89 Nova would have the same engine code as the L89 Camaro's.

We have heard a lot of stories of L89 Novas, but none have ever been verified with either a coded block, POP or paperwork. We believe that some were produced, just haven't found any - yet!

I checked the CRG site, thought I was going crazy!
