Please note

Listing in classifieds is for Paid Members. If you can't see the link to click to post an ad it is probably because you are not a paid member. There are no commercial ads allowed except by site sponsors. All for sale or trade ads need to have a price. No listing for offers only, but you can list something with a price. Ebay is allowed as long as there is a "buy it now". Potential buyers can inquire about the item being sold. If the sellers description has an error or not accurate you should PM the seller and or notify a moderator. No negative comments in the classified sections. We all have opinions, but we don’t need to bash people for placing an ad that doesn't agree with our idea of value etc. Members should be able to place an ad without worrying about being bashed. Members listing items or vehicles are expected to stand behind their sale or risk losing classified privileges and possible access to the forums. We want this site to be a place to be able to trust the person we are buying from. The seller & buyer are solely responsible for the terms and conditions of the transaction.

I checked the VIN's and build dates on the 2 69 L78 Novas we had...our cars were built in the late winter and spring of 69 and the VIN numbers reflect that. The VIN sequence for the 1969 Willow Run cars started at 300001.

There were over 250,000 Novas built in 1969...that VIN represents an early built car....not sure how to balance that against the casting date location. I always default to the casting date when things are confusing. Colvin's book says this block was used thru June of 1969...but this casting date is July..??

I don't believe they built 1969 Novas into September of 1969...the 1970 cars were being produced by that time...but, like all things GM...you never know [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

It might be helpful to see the deck stamp...but in the end, it won't really change anything...the casting number/date are what they are. So, if you need a 4 bolt 272 block...here it is.
