? On 69 Nova Is It True Ss

Paper work that came with the car when first sold is the only way to truely tell on all Novas with the exception of 72 where they actually have a designation in the VIN#. The options sound correct, but they can all be bought off E-bay. You can check date codes on the options and make yourself more comfortable with the fact that it is an SS car, but the only way to know 100% is with origional sales documentation of the car.

12 bolt is correct code and so is trans the car has not been on the road in 20 yrs been stored thank you for reply

BBC cars have HD cooling (four core instead of three core radiator) along with a different heater core, longer Z-bar, different front spring coils, 3/8ths inch fuel line instead of 5/16ths inch, frame chassis motor stands, and cross member are all different than the small block SS parts. The accessory mounting brackets are all different as well though the SBC P/S will bolt up to the big block the alignment of the belt will be off.

If you have all of that then it was either converted correctly from a SBC car and no-one will be the wiser, or it came with a big block and is a SS car because aside from COPO you couldn't get a BBC without the SS package.

Either way you're golden so I wouldn't worry about it.
