Default Re: 1969 Yenko Nova

I'm not exactly sure of the horsepower. But it was a 396. I will have to ask my father he knows for sure. They blew the engine in the car I believe within the first 2 weeks of owning the car. I believe it sucked a valve. They called Yenko Chevy and explained to them that they had put headers,4:88 gears and slicks on the car. They told him to put the street tires back on and tow it in. They picked the car back up with a total bill of $2 and some odd change for the oil.

edit
Also forgot to mention it was replace with another 396 engine. I'm pretty sure the heads were also replaced. I remember him say they only reused the intake.
