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

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.

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

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
RALPH
