I have a '72 brochure and the assembly manual that indicates 200hp for the Nova SS. Alan Colvin's book indicates 175 hp for the SS.  [/ QUOTE ] either way, they were slugs.

Re: Horsepower
The story behind frank and joe not having horsepower ratings on their cars came from the original owner car dad bought in NJ. That one didn't have it. Wasn't sure if that was something yenko did but I did it to both of their cars when we finished them. It would sound about right with the numbers that frank put up at the last reunion. lmao

Re: Horsepower
Yes, it was common for Yenko to trim the 360 HP rating off the air cleaner, I was just joking about it, although maybe mine said 50hp before the trimming.
Say...how many HP do you actually need to back out of the garage and pull back in?
