Nobody figured this out yet

(Can you see the heater core sticking through the firewall?)

I see a dual exhaust weld plate on the rear frame rail...
My guess is a 396, at least a Sport Sport...

or was that on the driver's side...?

It's a '70 Nova SS, 396/375, a/t on the column, bench seat, rubber mat, with F41 suspension!

If you look close, you can see the heater core pipes sticking through where the center of the heater box would be (I got the box cover, but it was swiss cheese after I blasted it - saved the 'AS' plate though).

If you look close at the lower pic, you will see the single fuel line. I dug out the lower spring plates for F41 cars, and crawled into the trunk to chisel out the frame brackets

Marlin... can you shed some light on the exhaust weld bracket please. I am just curious for my own Nova education. Thanks.

The extra bracket will be on the driver's side, not the passenger side, just like the Camaro's. I never looked at the driver's side of this car, It's the 4th car up in a 5 car wall surrounding this junkyard - and it was hard enough to climb up to the 4th car, I had to swing out over this 'cliff' of a Buick Lesabre. I nearly had a heart attack when I got up there - FG, 731 interior, 06A, had seen the single fuel line & rear sway bar stuff from the ground, so this thing had Deuce all over it. Then I saw the BB heater box and core support, figured I might as well make the climb worth something! Came back later for the F41 brackets, they are probably useless too, but.... it was fun. I took the trim tag off of it because of date irregularity, but then dropped it over the other side of the wall while climbing down - oh well
