Nobody figured this out yet

(Can you see the heater core sticking through the firewall?)

I see a dual exhaust weld plate on the rear frame rail...
My guess is a 396, at least a Sport Sport...

or was that on the driver's side...?

It's a '70 Nova SS, 396/375, a/t on the column, bench seat, rubber mat, with F41 suspension!

If you look close, you can see the heater core pipes sticking through where the center of the heater box would be (I got the box cover, but it was swiss cheese after I blasted it - saved the 'AS' plate though).

If you look close at the lower pic, you will see the single fuel line. I dug out the lower spring plates for F41 cars, and crawled into the trunk to chisel out the frame brackets

Marlin... can you shed some light on the exhaust weld bracket please. I am just curious for my own Nova education. Thanks.
