Re: EBay fable? fantasy or confusion...
68 had the TH400 COPO 396/375 Novas, 70 had the COPO LT-1 350, but there were no COPO 427 Novas built in 69...or any other year for that matter.

Re: EBay fable? fantasy or confusion...
camarojoe,
i once heard speculation that kevin suydam's 69 SYC Nova might have been a COPO. i read it on his forum of his website (before the site was changed). has this been confirmed or denied??

Re: EBay fable? fantasy or confusion...
So, the 69 Yenko Deuce, which was a 350 right? Was that engine stock GM or Did Yenko "beef it up" ?
New territory for me! Tks, Rich

Tks, Rich [/ QUOTE ] The 70 Yenko Deuce had its LT-1 350 factory installed as part of the COPO package. The engine was essentially the same one installed in the Z/28. The factory rating was 360hp, but Yenko removed this rating from the air cleaner decal, leaving only the "350" portion remaining. While I believe most were sold unmodified, its quite possible that some received some tuning/modifications at Yenko. Marlin might have some further documentation on this.

[/ QUOTE ] The 69 Yenko Novas were all transplants from SS396's as far as I know...I have not seen or heard of any proof to contradict this. Have never seen proof that ANY 427's were factory installed in Novas.
