Car runs and drives better than many "restored muscle cars", nd engine, ransmission and rear end are reliable. Engine carries to 60 psi oil pressure w/ 5w30 oil when warm and runs consistently 160-180F even in 100 degree summer days. New belts and hoses, arburetor professionally tuned with correct jets and power valves. Fuel gauge works, peedometer works, eat works, ights work (brights, ail, urn, rake, arker), indshield wipers work. Car sounds awesome, racks straight, ooks up great, nd has more power than most have the guts to unleash!

This is a special car that will set itself apart at the local car event or cruise night. From the dual snorkel air cleaner on solid lifter L78 big block engine, o the correct clutchless "W" stamped fan blade, o the redline tires, o the Hurst white ball shifter and chrome-accented strato bucket seats--- this car is a crowd pleaser! This is the sort of car that draws the curiosity and grabs the attention of people at almost every stop light or traffic intersection or store parking lot. People see and admire the car and when they hear the clatter of the solid lifters and the deep thunder of the high compression big block engine -- they suspect this is not your average small block Nova. Then they see the infamous 396 badging on the fenders and wonder, ould it be? If you happen to be stopped and open the hood, e prepared to be bombarded with comments and questions when they see the large engine stuffed in the smaller (lighter than Camaro) Nova with the almost never seen dual snorkel intake that GM installed on only a small number of later built 1970 big block L78 Novas! Most in your average community have never seen in person a big block Nova with an L78 engine and many are surprised that GM equipped a select number of Novas with the big block factory race engine. The average "car guy" has seen the big block Camaro or Chevelle, ut a little Nova, nd the L78?? This is the exciting intrigue associated with driving this car!

The L78 engine option in 1970 was actually 402ci even though the cars were badged 396 and were a factory race engine with larger square port heads, olid lifters, igh lift camshaft, 1.0:1 compression ratio, nd 850cfm duel feed double pump carburetor. The car we are selling has retained the factory 11.0:1 compression ratio and above mentioned specifications to the L78 special GM race engine but has been tuned to run on premium pump gasoline. The cylinder heads had special work performed to them to increase horsepower while at the same time allowing for operation on today's pump fuel. It should also be stated that these factory race engines were under-rated for insurance purposes, o do not let the factory rating fool you! The L78 was the highest horsepower engine ever offered in the Nova, nd 1970 was the last year that it was offered for Nova and the only year for 402ci-- making the 1970 L78 the largest most powerful Nova engine of all time. The L78/L89 was one of the three most powerful special order engines ever offered by GM in the muscle car era-- right next to ZL1 and LS6. There were other big block options for Nova, ut they were lower horsepower engines such as the L34 and had the smaller round port heads, ower compression ratio, ydraulic lifters, tc. The Nova with L78 engine is a true ICON of the muscle car era, nd in most circles (next to the 1970 LS6 Chevelle), t is the most valuable and sought after Chevrolet for 1970 in the collector car market! Novas with L78 engines are likely to continue to increase in resale value over time and make for one of the rarest cars for collection of all time.
