Someone correct me if I am wrong, but itsn't the 311 number from Tonawanda engine assembly records? In other words, they built 311 engines coded JJ (four speed) or JM (auto trans).
If so, then those 311 could have ended up in EITHER Nova or a Camaro, as they shared engine codes for most of the engines. Chevelles are different, but Nova and Camaro are the same. I have never seen a documented L89 Nova. Just don't know why it wouldn't be possible to have ordered one.

Yes Lynn, and thanks for understanding and posting that. Both Camaro and Chevelle share that 311 number. Not Nova. Which makes L78/L89 cars somewhat scarce and very tuff to prove.

What would have precluded ordering a Nova with the L89 option? Wouldn't it have the exact same engine code suffix as a Camaro? After all and HA coded 350 could have ended up in EITHER a Camaro or a Nova? So what would have precluded a JJ coded L89 engine from ending up in a Nova? I understand that there MAY have been no way to order it in a Nova, but has this been researched?

I don't know the answers, other than it was not a option on Nova ? Mike |

- Skipped L72 for 1967 - Skipped L79 for 1966 Chevelle - Didn't offer 396/350 for 1967 Camaro - Didn't offer 396/325 for Nova SS So, yeah, I get that some things don't make sense. But a lot doesn't make sense. Also, I don't think the Chevelle and Camaro share the 311 number. The number for Chevelles is 400. |

L89's
1969 Nova production does not show any L89's being produced. 1969 Camaro production shows 311 units, 309 through the end of September and the other 2 after that date. 1969 Chevelle L89 production shows: 400 units. Corvette production shows: 364 units.
