Re-read it. It says they sold the parts over the counter for the V8 conversion. Not installed them at the dealership.

Yes they did. Just like toyota dealerships install TRD super chargers. GM goodwrench installs their ----. Dodge dealers install the srt4 upgrade kits.

Like someones going to buy a brand new car and drop a v8 in Just like when people used to buy the victory motorcycles from polaris and they would order the stroker kit. Its not a polaris factory option but its a dealership thing.

Comments: The Chevrolet Chevy II was introduced in 1962 as a budget vehicle with a more conventional front engine, rear drive layout than the unusual Chevrolet Corvair. The Chevrolet Nova was the more upscale trim of the Chevy II. The first engines were definitely not sporty, a weak 194 I6 with 120 bhp. A 327 V8 engine swap was technically made available in the mid year as a dealer installed option, but the option added another 75% to the car's price and was not very popular.

Quoted from Super Chevy Magazine.
GM engineers went out of their way to make this difficult and displeasing to the mechanic, be it backyard or professional.

Look at it this way, the arguement was if a 350 was available(at least that was what my post was concerning), not a V8. The 350 was produced from 1969-2000. It is a physical impossibility for what Random and you say happened, actually did happen. It wasn't even in existence at the time.

1.) random strike did not say you could get the early novas with 350's. He simpy said
lofs of years of novas did come with 350s.
AND (thats a conjunction meaning he is going to state another fact, but the statement isn't nessicairly intertwined with the previous statement)
you could get 62-63 novas with v8s
2.) No where did I personaly make mention to a 350

Also, im suprised to hear the "fact" that the 350 engine was first produced in 1969.

thats pretty funny. did your dad with the sweet chevy II tell you that also?
