These conversations about trying to verify non buildsheet[i dont know if the l89 nova has one or not] cars always remind me of the time i sold an unstamped BB block to a guy who demanded it could be used at std bore or he didnt want it. I never really understood why a 030 bore was a big deal. Years later I read about the car in a magazine that was touted as a "never apart" super low mile bb car with every verification,every expert inspection said it was a special car,and all the fluff. Lets face it, there are NO individuals out there that can tell a factory stamped motor from a 10 year ago restamp of a never stamped block provided it was done correctly , they can only give thier opinion that what they see is consistant with other real cars theyve seen...Thats why real buildsheets are a must. This very special bb car mentioned above is living proof with its "original" motor being a former boat motor i pulled out of a marina in the early 90s. Not only was the undecked pad used to create the "original" "verified" pad stamp, but its bore was very instrumental in creating its ridiculously low mile "certified" "verified" claim as well.
