69 BB identification...."PICTURES ADDED"

[All American Racer]

Can any of you Nova specialists help me ID a 69 Nova? Zman and Nova Research have been big helps with PMs and pics but I have some questions that I would like to put up for your consideration. I know this: the heater hoses are correct, the engine sits off to the pass. side when I run a string from the center of the cowl to the center of the SS badges (I don't know how to properly check for that offset-I've been holding a straight edge up to my computer looking at various cars i.e. Bentz's '70) The engine/rear end are not original.The radiator support looks correct but someone has put a small block radiator in this car. I say this because the opening is way too big for the radiator. I also see welded nuts on the passenger side where the Harrison radiator would bolt on to. I don't see these welded nuts on the driver's side but there are holes that a self-tapping bolt would pass through in the proper location for a Harrison. The support does have welded nuts on the top for a small block radiator hold down but it also has all the proper holes for the BB center bracket and what appear to be push pin holes (from the pics I've seen of other correct BB's). I hear of the "enlarged" opening in the correct BB radiator supports and I've looked at pics but I haven't seen what a SB support looks like. It's hard to compare apples and oranges when you have no apples. If any of you 69 guys can give me a surefire way to tell without having the support out of the car I'd appreciate it. I have not had the car in the air yet. I can't tell you if the 4sp crossmember is the right one. I will let you know tonight. The engine (396) has a day 2 flex fan on it so no marks there. I'm sure I have forgotten some details and I'll post more as I learn. I will also post pics as soon as I move into the 90's and get a digital camera. Also, the interior is super nice although someone has replaced the original bench with correct buckets. This may have cost me a build sheet. I do have reservations about ripping the interior apart looking for it as it is so nice. Don't think the thought hasn't crossed my mind though . Thanks for any help you guys may have to offer. Where were sights like this in the eighties when we all had nothing but time to work on our cars? Marc
