BTW, the BB trans crossmember was used with BB shifter rods, but the small block shifter attaching bracket - ie; no 1/2" offset on the bracket!

Thank You Marlin.

..and my sympathies.

"Chinese restaurant syndrome (CRS) occurs in some people after they eat foods containing the food additive monosodium glutamate (MSG) - a common ingredient in Chinese food."

Thanks to all who have replied to this post. It is GREAT to get a little history of this car for my buddy.
Marlin/Camaro Joe, Do these cars use a Hurst? or a Muncie shifter?
Actually my friend bought this car about 1 year ago from another Calgary guy who paid big money for this car.
Yes it still has the original springs with the square lumps? It also still has the flowmaster exhaust, which is going.
On another note did these cars use the crossflow muffler-aka- Camaro type?
Marlin, You mention a B.B Trans crossmember and shifter rods, this car has a small block trans crossmember, which is correct?
Also does any one know the driveshaft length? The shaft appears original, just want to know before i spend time and money detailing it and balancing the shaft.

Thanks in Advance.

I lived in Calgary from 1961 to 64. Nice City. I hear its a bit overcrowded now. I had a population of 260K then I think. Now its near or over 1 million. I bet ole Elbow drive or MCCleod Trail is a parking lot at 5pm huh. IN 69 I was a senior in HS in So Cal when I bought a new 69 Nova SS 396/375 4spd,Black on Black. Does anyone have some photos of these 69 Yenko 427s? Thanks Michael

rz, It's a Hurst shifter, yes they use the crossflow muffler setup with resonators. If you're going to change back to an M21 you'll need to change the drive shaft yoke. M22s are different ie; bigger output shaft. I kinda like the M22 in mine. Nice whine Schonye

Thanks Schonyenko2,
Would you happen to know if the resonators and muffler are the same as a 70 Z28? Also what size were the front pipes and the tailpipes. Chrome Tips on the pipes like a 70 Z28?
Actually GM did make small output M22,s, this has the big output but we are changing the mainshaft and tailhousing/yoke to make it more correct, but are leaving the M22 Gearset. Would you happen to know the correct driveshaft length eye to eye for the Nova?
Marlin, In your previous post you mentioned the BB crossmember and rods with the SB bracket, is this what these Yenko Nova,s used?
Does any 1 have a picture of the original shifter they could post?
Was the Hurst shifter the same as a non consol 70 Z28 Shifter?
Thanks for all the help, this is a great site!

Mike,

There was another post about Yenko's Deuce's running last month when one was up for sale and this same topic came up in the middle of the discussion. Someone asked about the cross member and Marlin replied with:

[ QUOTE ]
All Yenko Deuces came with a BB crossmember, and you are right it doesn't make sense. BTW, it's not a Pontiac member either, which looks exactly like the BB one but doesn't have the 1/2" offset. We do not know why they came this way, but they did, and they do not have the BB engine mounts - which makes the trans mount fun to install



It was further noted that it apparently makes them difficult to install as they are out by a 1/2 inch from the crossmember mount with BB mounts.
