68-70 Nova Supercars
 
What dealerships or 3rd party tuners were doing conversions to 427 or 454 power in this timeframe?

I've started a list, but feel free to add to it and post pics.

Yenko
Motion Performance
Nickey
Dick Harrell
Dale
Anderson
Cordia
Bill Thomas (1 confirmed)

Were there any Dana or Berger 427/454 converted cars in this timeframe? Also, I know Nickey built 454 cars until 73 and Motion until 72. Were others?

I seem to remember a low mile 73 or so nova here on this site that was a not so well known dealer conversion to a 454..L-88 maybe? I seem to remember a Tony owning it or recently buying it? Anyone?

Docs, Ads or photos to prove Dana and Berger were converting Novas beyond their factory 396 power plants?

Novas...
 
Of course, Fred Gibb was a conduit to the Harrell shop for some of the conversions...not sure if the dealership did other upgrades. But they were certainly part of the process.

Courtesy Chevrolet was also a player back then....and of course there many dealers who were part of the Yenko, Gibb and Motion networks. Byrne Bros Chevy in White Plains, NY was well known for hi-perf cars and parts.
