Default '70 Berger Nova?

Friend just showed up in my office with a picture of a '70 427 Nova SS. Has emblems and decals from Berger. Documentation shows it was sold out of Berger. Was this an SS 350 with a later change or is it possble it left Berger with a 427? 81k miles. Jim

This was discussed a week or so ago. Very doubtful that Berger swapped the motor. In 1970 the 454 was out, and much more likely to be the motor of choice for a transplant.
Just my opinion. Sounds like a neat car.

Did Nova's receive proportioning valves on the frames?

That's what I was thinking, neither of my Nova's had one, and both are/were original when I bought them. I think BKH told me this past weekend that the Novas never got them?

My early-70 has a distribution block on the sub frame. Partway through the production year, GM made a change and consoliated them up under the master cyclinder.
