Corvette 350 engine same as Chevelle 350 engine?
Just recently bought a 69' vette but it has a 72' Chevelle 350 engine. I was wanting to put an aluminum intake and some different valve covers but I'm not sure if they will fit knowing the engine was out of a nova. Is there any differences the the engines or should I be fine? Any help, thanks!

In 69 there were 6 engine codes for 350 cu. in. engines with 300 and 350 HP ratings.
You need to know the engine codes for your corvette and the year and engine code for the truck engine.

Nova or Chevelle- was what is was 35 years ago....probably been gone through a couple of times since w/ who knows what.
Yes- and intake and valve covers should fit just fine- but while you have the valve covers off- you might want to see what heads are on it now.
