Default Re: Can you tell if a 69 Nova is an SS by the trim tag

If the fuel lines are original, an SS 350 or SS 396 L34 will have two... a larger diameter feed line and a smaller return line. This was used on the Quadrajet 4-barrel carb equipped cars. The only Q-jet equipped engines were part of the SS package at that time.

If it was an SS396, then there are also other big-block related clues to look for.

very quick clue, look at the driver's side rear frame rail for a welded on exhaust hangar mount (2x3" square with tapped holes in it) very good sign of an orig SS. SULLY
