Default 1969 L78 Nova

Any thoughts on this Nova being a real L78 car?

Post 69 L78 Nova...

Besides the normal BB only items I would check originality of some of the bolt on parts like the alternator and distributor...they could have been reused during the small block swap.

The real defining clue in my opinion, is the CX tranny...if the VIN is on the case and it matches the car...and assuming the stamp is legit...it has to be an L78 car...that was the only way to get that tranny. It may also be possible to find a Fisher Body sheet that would also confirm the motor.

I noticed they used an earlier alternator mounting setup...69 would have been on the pass. side...perhaps the 307 came from a 68 vehicle.

Interesting car...worth a look for someone close enough.

That car seems to be pretty original inside. I would think the broadcast sheet would be in the top comer of the back seat, and in 69 it would have the L78 designation on it.

It looks to have a deep groove pulley I wonder if its the original alternator, also has the correct ZE radiator tag. What's that box for on the inner fender well?

Default Thing on the inner fender..

The photo is a little fuzzy...but since this car is probably down south, it might be some kind of overflow tank for the cooling system????
