Yeah...........if it was correct for an L/78 Chevelle, it would be mucho many more dollars. LOL

This block would also work for a 70 L-78 M/T Nova produced in or after April,but to late for any 1970 L-78 Chevelle.

Rick, just curious about your comment on the casting date relative to the build date of the car....why would it have to be an April car with a January cast block..?? Thanks, tw

Tonawanda shows they assembled it during April of 70 is why.

Rick, I thought the block was decked....where did that date come from..??? tw

Look at Ricks last pic in that string of photos he posted.
On the pad you can make out T04...

If you have questions, feel free to ask me.

Yes the block is decked. However, as shown in the photo, you can still make out the date code. TO40?C?O

This is one of the ways that you know that it is a CKO code block.

My 70 L78 Nova motor is an A 30 70 cast with a 04/24 build date. I asked Wilma how many fingers I was holding up, he answered "Thursday", hence going to the Doctor
