I JUST BOUGHT A 70 NOVA SS 396.I THINK IT MIGHT BE A L78 CAR.ANYTHING THAT I SHOULD LOOK FOR TO PROVE THIS.IT DOES NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL MOTOR IN IT.CAN'T FIND THE BUILDSHEET.ANY IDEAS? THANKS TONY.:hurray:

Nothing on the cowl or vin tags will help other than tell you it's a V8. I don't know and haven't seen any info giving clues like there are for Camaros. What I have seen posted is without paper or orig block etc you're sol proving it's an SS let alone it's a L78...

Maybe someone will pipe up with more info...

Most cars speak for themselves if you listen closely...there are many clues to the BB mystery...pictures and a little time will probably tell the story...ideal situation is a car with the original patina...especially under the hood...you can't fake that..
