JH would be the correct code for an Iron Block and head L78.

Seems this thread has gone from "something wanted" to a discussion about your Nova https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif Very cool car for sure.

You keep referring to "427" Aluminum Heads. I could be mistaken, but I believe in 1969 certain heads were used strictly on 427's (L88 & ZL1) while others were used on both 427's and 396's (L89). Be interesting to know if the dealer installed 074's or 842's.

Good luck with your car search.

Re: WANTED 69/70 NOVA SS 396/375 OR YENKO NOVA
 

What would be the reason that the factory would not install L89 heads on a nova, and instead have it dealer installed? What are we missing here as to the logic behind this? There seems to be no apparent reason for this deviation from a production capability stand point. If you can do it for camaros, chevelles, corvettes, why not novas? Someone solve this mystery already. Schonye

Re: WANTED 69/70 NOVA SS 396/375 OR YENKO NOVA
 

yes its rallye green.i wish i knew if they ever installed 427 alum heads from the factory on these cars.that would help solve the mystery. anyway its a cool car because of its original condition,for me anyway because most of my cars are restored cars .im trying to get used to the idea of a 34 year old car with the original paint, and interior by the way is very very nice. any help would be appreciated.
thanks
