Re: 69 Nova L78 TH400
[ QUOTE ]
I think I read over at Steves that the Grumps Nova started life as an L79 non SS car.....how cool is that. [/ QUOTE ] Here's a vintage pic that Ed Hedrick was kind enough to share with me. It's from his personal collection, and is definitely a period photo. It shows Dave Strickler giving the Grump '68 Nova a drink between rounds. Notice there's no rubber flap on the fan shroud/core support, which seems to support it's small block origins. Pretty cool.

Re: 69 Nova L78 TH400
Cool picture... Thanks to Andrew H., I got the chance to visit with the Strickler family this past year at the York show. Both years I have attended they have had a booth along side a couple of Strickler prepared cars. Usually along side "The Grump", as Ed called him at SCR7.

Last one. Note lack of SS hood louvers, or Super Sport rocker emblems.
