Default Re: 1970 nova ss Survivor

Not saying it's impossible to have a turbo 400 in a SB SS or plain Jain small block, but I have owned 50 or so 68-72's and looked at hundreds more and I have never seen or heard of one. It's not as simple as sticking a 400 in there if you don't have a 350. Different; cross member, output shaft, drive shaft, kick down switch. different front spring for the added weight, As common as the 350 trans were in those Novas I just don't see GM running out. But never say never.

If it can be believed, the paperwork on the SS350 being discussed in this thread, says it has a TH400.

I think in the ad says it has a Turbo Hydromatic Transmission. I may be missing where it says it's a 400.
