He is a pretty big guy and when he has to change spark plugs I usually call for an ambulance to sit on standby. Never fails to cut himself or burn himself and has the car jacked up just to get to a couple plugs.

My Lt-1 Firebird was not a whole lot better.....

I have a dragster and you can keep your Chevy II's, Nova's and Gen 4 F bodied cars....LOL

got a 94 LT1 camaro also. had my dad change the plugs in it once.... he said that he will NOT change the plugs again. LOL

I am pretty sure the 67 Nova came with a 327 ci 350 horsepower option. A high school friend had one and a drunk blew a stop sign and T - Boned him and toatled it. Another friends brother has a factory 454 4 speed in either a 70 or 71 Monte Carlo which he bought new.

So what's your point? lol

Not sure if this one is equipped with the Corvette fuel injection or the optional 396.

Everytime I hear someone tell me about their 70 Chevelle SS LS6 454 that they once had. I always ask them if the car had factory A/C, 98% of them will say that it did.

My aunt had a 66 Acadian convertible, looked the white Nova above but red with red interior. She probably bought it that way and before 67. I would doubt she bought a hardtop and had it converted herself so perhaps a dealer did, maybe reskinned a crashed 65. It one upped my uncle who had a Volvo P1800 and my aunt (from other side of family) was proud of that.

Used to be a few big block Chevy II's around with fenderwell headers and stock suspensions. Making the headers fit inside the frame would be a challenge.

This car was an export only release by Chevy, only 43 were made.

Have you ever seen a Big Block in a stock early Nova....Yes....but they were never built by GM....and there is very little room in there period...

A small block is no bargain......a big block is ridiculous....

396 big block in a 1966-67 Chevy II was part of the very rare and seldom seen "Montana Moose Hunting Package."

However it was rejected by Farmer Dismuke before any were ever built.

An offshoot of this package can still be seen mounted on the front of over-the-road tractor trailer rigs running up in the Northwest part of the country.
