NEED ENGINE DECODED
Hi All,
Need your help on this. My son's looking at a Nova with a non-original engine. Owner claims it is a 302 Chevy. Can you help with what little I'm able to provide. Here it is. Engine code on the front pad has a WH at the end. We con't have the casting # yet. It does appear to have Z28 aluminum intake (wintersnowflake cast in).
So, what blocks/years had this WH suffic on the engine pad?
Appreciate any and all responses.
Thanks!!
Jim

Re: NEED ENGINE DECODED (6T5RUSH)
This is the info I could come up with readily here at work:
1966 WH 283ci Powerglide, A.I.R. - 175hp 2 Bbl
1968 WH 307ci m/t - 200hp 2 Bbl
1969 WH 350ci m/t, A.I.R. - 255hp 4 Bbl
:cheers:
Checking my home references, I have been unable to find any 302 block that used a "W" in the suffix... :sad:

Re: NEED ENGINE DECODED (Denney)
Hey Denney,
Now that power has been restored (phew!!!..what a trip that was!), just wanted to say thanks for responding to this. My son is going to try and buy it and the more info he has at "the front end" the better informed he is. There's enough on the car performance wise to go after it as a parts car.
Thanks again RCGregory and JohnZ for chimin' in.
Regards and keep the lights on!!
