Re: L89 Nova???????
I think he told me the dealer installed the heads and water pump when the car was new. So My question was is this considered an L89 car or just an L78 with dealer installed aluminum heads. He claim's the original owner has all the paper work showing this? I have heard this before from my dad's friend. He was a mechanic for a local chevrolet dealership in the late 60's. He said that he installed headers on a lot of new cars back in the day and that they came in the trunk from the factory? Or maybe someone put them in the trunk when the car came to the dealer ship? The 68 L78 nova is in Western NY. His father at one time owned a couple of Dueces? Chris told me his father also worked at a chevrolet dealership and un-loaded his 68 L78 nova from the car hauler. How cool is that!

Re: L89 Nova???????
