This is the engine that came in my 70 NovaSS.It is a very strong running engine.I have most of the casting #'s and date codes that I could see.
The first pic is in the car when I picked it up.

The crank pulley is aftermarket.
The Holley is #3923289-DZ

As the pics show the mounts,fuel pump,pulleys,fan,starter,valve covers,open element air cleaner(still has AC instructions on the bottom of the top lid)headers(not shown)flywheel(if needed)bolt it in and go.If this doesn't sell here it's going to E-bay.If I still have it next spring it will be repainted and put back in the Nova and I will drive it like I stole it. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

If at all possible I would like to see this engine returned to it's original home.I do not have a Team Chevelle membership so I cannot post it over there.But if someone could post a ad over there with a link over to here that would be very much appreciated.Thank you in advance.

Or just make a post at Team Chevelle about reuniting your engine with the car it came from...it's worth a shot! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif


BTW...did I briefly see you at Vettefest...? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Thanks guys for the help.I thought you had to be a member like on here to place an ad.My bad.
Yes,when MrDeuce said he couldn't do the engine my next focus was to see if it could be reunited with it's original chassis.MrDeuce had first shot at it,then it's up for grabs to anyone.
Yes Bruce that was me and my oldest daughter Erin at Vettefest.We both had a great time.Great to see old faces and learning new ones.
Once again thank you guys for helping out.If the engine doesn't sell it'll go back in the Nova.

Price reduced to $7000.00.Any takers?? Going to Ebay in a week or so.No sale there,engine stays and gets cleaned and repainted,and reinstalled in the spring.
