Re: 63 SS Nova COPO ???????
Chris,
That is a real Chevy-II block (or at least pan), judging by the position of the dipstick. Verne

Re: 63 SS Nova COPO ???????
Verne, I had three of those pans with the dipstick attached for the V8 conversion. I never claimed my conversion to be a COPO
 .If the literature says three were made, then it must be true... or not? If it is rarer then hens teeth and numbers matching they need to yank the master upgrade and correct the paint. I asked the seller for photos of TT and stamp pad.

Re: 63 SS Nova COPO ???????
The engine code is F0923DE. The DE is a Chevy II 283 V/8 w/Powerglide. My book says 1962. Anybody got any better info than this?

Re: 63 SS Nova COPO ???????
[ QUOTE ] If it means anything, I have a copy of Chevrolet's production records for the '63 model year. According to those numbers, there were 3 Chevy-IIs built with a 283 V8, and ONE 4-spd. Verne  [/ QUOTE ] I show the same thing - 3 with 283 & 1 - 4 spd- but it does not show a model id number pertaining to this or an RPO number. How could you verify this as real? COPO # would have to be on trim tag?

I have the info from the trim tag. What am I looking for? Bob [/ QUOTE ] JAYR, It would help to know the build date of the body (upper left hand corner) and a ACC codes. Hopefully others who are inquiring will be able to provide casting # and date from the block. Verne
