Same body as the Nova but would the Olds 350/160 HP 4brl for that year
Rob, yes, you are correct on the HP but HE said 4brl

Not trying to be a jerk here, but he asked about a combination that does not exist. The 160 hp 350 has a 2bbl carb the 4bbl 73 olds 350 is factory rated at 180 hp and nhra factored to 285 hp

Yes, but you compared it to other GM 4 bbl 350's .
If you want a fair comparison, try the 70 350 Chevy... 1.375 carb @ 224 HP in a Nova.
Olds has the 1.18 carb..Same as a 305... Still not a good combo.
Just because someone has a car in his possession, it doesn't mean they ought to build a
non-competitive Stocker out of it ... It's a false economic situation, in the long run.
Mark: You nailed it!
Imperative to find a competitive combo!
